Two hens/ Same Nest/ Same time

[Blondiega1]

So this is a new one on me.
Anyone else experience this?

Yes, it happens to me a lot. Just last week two of my girls were broody in the same nest. It's fine unless you want to hatch the eggs. You might run into trouble with two ducks fighting over the same eggs and babies!

These two are sisters (I don't have them anymore, though):

I guess I feel bad for both of you this is happening to, but it's so darned cute!

Why would you feel bad?
I've been doing some research and it seems this is not uncommon and they can actually both hatch them out and share the ducklings.
I counted yesterday when they came off to eat and they are sitting on 18 that I could see.
I suppose we will see what happens!

It just sounded like something that could be a problem if you wanted to hatch ducklings. No offense intended.

None taken.
I was curious why you would feel bad. LOL
I hope they successfully hatch them out! We shall have to wait and see!
