Hello everyone, so I live in Northern Ontario and have 23 chickens and 5 Muscovy ducks. 2 of my ducks have started sitting on their eggs, and my 3rd female doesn't seem to care about the eggs. My question is the ducklings will be hatched roughly around the beginning of April. The ducks share a coop with 2 male ducks. When the babies hatch will that be a problem? I'm letting the mother ducks sit on the eggs, we aren't going to incubate them. I've never done this before and it's so exciting . Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
