Welcome to BYC! I've had eggs under broodies hatch several days early, so I would say that it's normal and that you shouldn't worry. Hope you have a a fantastic hatch.

thank you,I’ll keep you posted

Thank you,will she accept the ones that hatch in the incubator if I put them under her as soon as they have hatched?

Mine almost always accept anything I give them if I do it in the first day or two.

The reason was because Pebbles lost her two friends & went broody so I got some fertile eggs but wasn’t sure if she would sit them as she has never done it befor (she’s only 9mths old) so I thought I would incubate some just to be on the safe side...... I’ve just had a peek at the one under mumma & it’s little beak is poking out

Should I just go take the ones from incubator & put them under her?????

How many are under her? How many in the incubator?

Thank you ,I’m just on my way out there now to see if it has hatched out

The beak is now poking out,Pebbles has made her nest in wood shavings will that harm the Ducklings? This is my 1st time also with the eggs under mamma Duck

Her nest should be fine.
