    HI We discovered that our female muscovy was sitting on 3 eggs. Brilliant we thought, but then she started eating the eggs (we had this problem with her when she decided to sit on our chicken eggs, and had hoped it was an isolated incident due to them being chickens not duck - she got them to...

I ? the egg because I thought maybe the chick had died and was starting to disintegrate, and that ball was a bit of the chick... however clearly thats not the case as its now...
