We put a duck egg under our Silkie hen, it hatched yesterday. The little thing is so adorable and already eating and drinking well. The "momma" hen doesn't know what to think about her baby, she keeps looking at it funny.
We had also put some chicken eggs under her so she would have a chicken baby, but they never germinated so all she has is the duckie baby. I'm not usre what breed this is, at the time we put this egg under her our ducks were not laying and this was an egg we got from my brothers ducks. He has several breeds so I'm not to sure which this is.

The picture is of it standing in its breakfast.
