oops, I miscounted on the calender. Thought these Muscovy were due to hatch next week. Walked into the kitchen to get a drink and heard a baby squeak. Since we only have Muscovy eggs of the same setting, I knew I had made a mistake. Brenae took this photo while I was trying to place hatching baskets in the incubator. So far only one is hatched.
Here is the swap I received the eggs from:

White French Production Muscovy
This is a French improved breeding stock that produces birds 50% larger than our American Muscovy. Very quiet and calm, lay lots of nice big eggs Feb-Nov (then tend to go broody for winter), excellent foragers. Wonderful personalities for pets: boys are super sweethearts; girls are docile... also the best broodies & mamas! (35 day incubation). For meat production, drakes usually attain a live weight of 12 pounds in 12 weeks. My typical dressed weights: Hens 3.5- 4.5 lb. and drakes 8 - 10 lb. (most dress at 9 lbs). High in meat-to-bone ratio, with less weight loss after cooking than Pekin ducks. (I have 9 multigenerational girls covered by 2 drakes; mama's regularly hatch out 12-18 babies!)
