Duck's fertilize their eggs within the female duck's body. This means that eggs that will hatch are already fertilized when they are laid. Ducks still lay unfertilized eggs, but they will never be fertilized or become ducklings.

Ducks can not fertilize a chicken egg, but guineas have been reported to be able to viably cross with chickens.

Many people mistakenly believe that Turkens, also known as Naked Neck chickens, are the offspring of a turkey-chicken cross, but that isn't true. Turkens are simply another breed of chicken, bred over many generations to have little or no feathers on their necks. There is a wide variety of chicken breeds, many of which look vastly different to what most people think of when they think "chicken." Silkies and Frizzled breeds are other examples of this.

No, interspecies breeding is generally not possible naturally. A duck and a chicken are too far genetically separated to interbreed. There have been reported cases of chickens and guinea fowl producing hybrids, however.

It may be possible to cross-breed vastly different species using genetic splicing, but that is generally* considered to be unethical.

*There are some chemical companies that use genetic manipulation to create patented types of seeds that either are immune to herbicides or pesticides, or even produce their own form of pesticides. There is a long list of reasons many consider this also to be unethical. For further research, you can use a search engine (I prefer Ecosia) and search with the term "genetically engineered seeds" as a starting spot.

A male duck copulates with a female duck and she will lay a fertilized egg. If copulation does not occur she will lay an unfertilized egg.

Can a chicken hatch a goo se egg?

It is possible that the chicken might - I have had a chicken hatch a turkey egg, a duck egg and of course a chicken egg. My duck has hatched turkeys, ducks and chicken, and my turkey had hatched turkeys and chickens (though we had to take the eggs off her when they started to hatch because she is a big turkey, and squashes them). It the egg is not too big for the chicken, I think it should be alright. You've just got to make sure that she doesn't turn the egg out of the nest for either being to big, not enough room with other eggs, or any other reason. I think it would be best if you only give the hen the egg, and maybe 1 or 2 chicken eggs if she is a big chook. You could always try an incubator if you have one too. Good luck of hatching it!
