Same Nest, Different Egg

It seems we have a extra nest....

This nest has Duck eggs & Guinea Hen eggs in it.
We have seen one Duck go in where the
nest is , then she will go and sit on her own nest.
Then the Guinea Hen will go in.

So who will sit on the nest???? Should we take the Duck eggs out or
the Guinea Hens eggs out?

There is about 9 Duck eggs & 11 Guinea Hen eggs

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.

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.
