    Incubation progress of Muscovy eggs

    We've got 15 left, we lost 3 early on. I think they just wandered off and either got lost or eaten by something I had no idea momma was going to be walking around with them a day after hatching! They went through the chain link to the neighbors. I imagined them to stick closer to mom. So...

    Incubation progress of Muscovy eggs

She seems to bathe at least once a day and her hutch is in a shaded area. The nest feels a little damp (not...

    Incubation progress of Muscovy eggs

    I've tossed an entire clutch of rotten muscovy eggs, I had two muscovy sitting on them inside of a Dogloo.. They sat on them for atleast 35 days. Temps likely got too high in there. I opened every single egg. They clearly overheated within the first few days of incubation. It's amazing how every...
