my buff orpington hatched out 6 out of 7I've only tried to hatch Muscovies in my home made cooler incubator once, and my hatch rate was low, 2/12, amd it took a lot of work and care to keep even those 2 alive.. then I let my duck hatch a clutch and got 12/13. Muscovies definitely arent chickens, or other breeds of ducks at that. If you have ducks, I'd say just leave it to them! Plus it's less work on you because momma will raise them
all i did was mist the eggs every other day
but i don't always ave a broody ready to step up & sit for me
