Question on chickens and ducks

[chicalot]

I put 5 duck eggs in the incubator on the first. I have 1 pekin Drake, 1 Mallard Drake, and 2 Mallard hens. I had today marked as the day to put in chicken eggs if I decided to do so.I'm not sure if I have the dates right but last night my chicken went full broody. She is sitting on 4 silkie eggs. would it be okay to add the duck eggs under her and another silkie egg if my hen lays today?

If you put duck eggs under her after the chicken eggs she may not want to sit the extra week to hatch the duck eggs when the chicks hatch out a week early it would be better to put the duck eggs under her first wait about a week then add chicken eggs since incubation for the eggs are a wee apart

The duck eggs are incubated since June 1. They're already veining. So i could add them tomorrow?

I'm sorry.. May 1. Not june

i wouldn't see any problems since the duck eggs have already started

Oh good. I'll be glad not to have to incubate them. Hopefully she sticks to the nest! Thanks.
