Tips for chicken raising ducklings?

[chipens]

I have a hen sitting on 8 muscovy duck eggs. All are fertile and showing life. She has 4 days left (till 31 days). 2 eggs look pretty close to hatching.
So I'm planning on leaveing the ducklings with the hen if all goes to plan. Any tips so it all goes smoothly? Will mum hen accept them and raise them. Shes hatched chicks once before

Yes..She will accept the Ducklings as her own. Feed them as you would any Ducklings.
