Our muscovy has laid 12 eggs so far in the nest, and just today i took out 10 eggs. I don't want the eggs under her to set, so I was thinking that I could put some pure fertile scovie eggs under her. Will she keep laying untill their is such a number eggs under her, or she will go broody with only two eggs underneath. Thanks in advance :)

I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock. -
First, watching a runner duck run is awesome. They can find their own food. They aren't like pekins in water. Mine haven't started laying but I heard their decent. -
Its not as fat and slow as a pekin, but its not frail either. I want a mallard but I don't want a flying bird. The rouen is great for that. -
They are my calmest birds and are easiest to catch. They eat less than Pekins. I heard they also lay well, but mine are younger.
