I'm so excited... Today makes day 35 since I noticed my duck hen sittin all day on her hidden nest, then a few days later my other duck hen went broody in the coop, so I took 8 eggs from under the shed & put them under the one in the coop... The eggs under the duck hen in the coop are hatchin! They all had pips in them yesterday & the ones under the shed had lots of pips too (none of these have hatched yet). This is soooo cool!

I have two Muscovy hens now broody. One is calm and only squeaks at me while the other will lunge and flap at me. I just added some shipped Muscovy eggs to the newest nest to see if the hen will do the work for me.

So adorable. Muscovies are such beautiful birds and yet it's hard to find hatcheries that sell them. Good luck with the rest of the eggs.
