Re: Same Nest, Different Egg
Chickens raised WITH ducks will imprint on the ducks and try to go everywhere and do everything the ducks do. Chickens don't do themselves much good sitting down in mud puddles or trying to swin in a pond.

Re: Same Nest, Different Egg
The chances are very remote that a guinea will sit on a nest. I have had guineas for years, and the only babies I get is by incubating them. I have 15 guinea eggs in the incubator now. I have 15 females and none has ever been broody.
Re: Same Nest, Different Egg
Well the guinea is sitting on the nest with her eggs & the ducks
Last year she sat on her nest and had 7 chicks.. So we will see what happens
