Two of my ducks laid in the same nest and are taking turns sitting on the eggs. I wouldn't worry about it as long as they keep sitting on them and aren't bothering each other. if they are side by side, they can keep each other company. lol

I had 4 hens sitting on 2 eggs at one time. Both eggs hatched and I just put one of the hens in a pen with the chicks. They all got along fine togeather.
My nest box is an old dresser so it was long enought they could sit side by side.

I would let them be. My friend Denise had 3 mille fleur bantams sit on a clutch of standard eggs! Those bantams hatched and raised about 3 barred rock chicks!
