Question. This is my first year with Muscovy hens and eggs. I locked one down in a large wooden crate and she is doing great sitting. She has fresh food and water daily. I have another who didn't start laying till a month after the first hen started. She won't sit the nest past daylight. She has about 11 eggs and beautifully lined with down feathers. Been sitting all night and off at daylight for a week now. I caught my drake breeding her on the nest one day!!!!! Is it just best to lock them down with crate or box every time? Or she just young? Any tips or suggestions would be GREAT!!!
