Following this thread! So interesting. I just started incubating four pekin duck eggs 2 days ago. I plan on adding some chicken eggs on day 7. I got my candler today but couldn't see much. Will try to remember to post pics next time on day 7 (if I can make myself wait that long)

Sorry to hear it - my first batch of shipped Muscovy eggs didn't hatch, either. It was a huge disappointment.

Have you already seen this article:https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/incubating-and-hatching-muscovy-eggs? I found it very helpful and have had good hatches since that first bust. I really think that hand turning and daily cooling and misting made a difference.
