    Help!!! My 4 day old muscovy has a bubble in his foot!

    He is doing better. We couldn't get epsom salts, so we ended up lancing his foot. The swelling is gone, but we have to drain about every day so it will stay that way. Sorry I have not posted earlier, and HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

    Help!!! My 4 day old muscovy has a bubble in his foot!

    The bubble now takes up the space between the first inner toe and second. THE WHOLE ENTIRE SPACE!!!! It is very hard, and seems to be filled with air. So, basically, it has doubled in size since I first started this thread. Should I lance it, or just soak it? And sorry, I can't send a picture.

    Help!!!

    Well guys, bad news. All the eggs died. Two of them never made it to hatching time. The last one, though, was almost done. We went to bed at 11:00 P.M., and woke up at 6:30 A.M.

    Help!!! My 4 day old muscovy has a bubble in his foot!

    Help!!!

    Well, yesterday I heard a sound from the biggest egg. It's air cell has doubled in size since we found the eggs. I think I have only a few days until it hatches.

    Help!!!

    Well, the babies are basically dancing in their shells when we candle them, but we can't feel anything. It is a big, dark blob with the clear air sack, and lighter at the edge of the blob with veins. We think that they are close to 20 days in, but are not sure. We got them on Friday. They were...

    Help!!!

    I have muscovy eggs and don't know how far along they are. I candled and saw them moving. They are in a still air for 4 chicken eggs. 3 muscovy eggs? They do not fit very well. They temp. shoots to 120*f sometimes, and dips to 80*f. I am worried! What do I do?

    How to hatch muscovy eggs?

    How do I tell how old they are? I have 3 eggs that I found and don't know how old they are. How long will it take for them to incubate? Do I need to cool them since I have a simple still air incubator? How do I do that? Can anyone post an accurate candling chart? Thank you!
