I have 8 hens, a rooster and a duck. The rooster has been amorous with EVERYONE - including the duck! She got broody on her eggs - which won't hatch - so I substituted some of the chicken eggs into her nest and she never noticed. When - if - these hatch in about a week, what should I do? Leave the chicks with her? Take them away and raise them separately? It was probably not a good idea to do what I did, but now it's in motion and I will have to deal with it in some way.
