chicken sitting on duck eggs...advice needed

Recommended Posts

I would tuck it in your clothes. That's how I revived a couple of our chicks. I walked around with them tucked in my clothes until they got warm and wriggly, then put them under the heat lamp. The broody did take them back after the last egg had hatched, but hopefully a heat lamp will do the job for you. If it does survive you'll have think about getting it a companion, it won't be very happy on its own.

 

Fingers crossed for you. Good luck

 

thanks,

unfortunately although kept warm and snug it still has not changed so after nearly 6 hours I'm guessing the poor little might is a gonner :(

 

am now going to try and turf our broody hen off her empty nest, she really didn't have much luck, but at least one hatched even though it wasn't strong enough to make it.....

 

thanks everyone for all your advice and support
