Broody duck questions

So I have a bantam silky duck who has been laying eggs for about a week. A couple days ago I found her sitting in her little dog kennel on top of eight eggs.

My question is...if i have two other ducks in the same area as her, will everything be ok? There is a male and another female who all like to sleep in the same kennel. During the day the other two go outside, but at night they come in with the broody. So far she's protected the eggs fairly well. Is it okay to allow the other ducks access to the box? I don't really have anywhere else to isolate her considering I have other broody chickens in all of my other closed-off areas...
