    NEWBIE Abandoned Muscovy eggs (Incubating the last 7-10 days) they sat under another Muscovy until her eggs hatched 2 weeks ago.

    This has become a lot harder than I thought. One made an oxygen crack last night. This morning the egg was cold in the incubator. I slowly opened it and the poor thing seem to turn towards the wrong end. I am concentrating on the 6 wild I helped keep safe. They are thriving and their Mom...

    It never seems to have the energy and pep in its step as the ones who hatched with the Mom. The belly was hard where the yolk sack absorbed. It was def. Odd looking. The next time I think I’ll substitute in some sugar water.

    We had a textbook hatch. Set up a brooder box. Made it through the night. Took it out with the other mom this morning for her feed time. She is wild. Comes to the house at 7am. She was very interested. Her ducklings are 8 days older. One def. Did not approve. Reading up on having...

    Yes, I picked up water fowl crumbles. The experienced mom seems to move around at night but stays close to our house. It’s nearly 100 degrees here during the day but at night will go down a bit. I will set up a brooder. She comes to feed every morning and stays for awhile under a tree. I...

    NEWBIE Abandoned Muscovy eggs (Incubating the last 7-10 days) they sat under another Muscovy until her eggs hatched 2 weeks ago.

    Yes the one behind is viable. I can try and attach a video. I am going to attempt to see if the “experienced Mom” will take the 3 due to hatch this week. I plan on raising them semi wild if she doesn’t on the side of our house with in a safe barrier. (Taking them in at night.). The ones...

    They were under another mom until her eggs hatched recently and I then took the remaining eggs that were not hers and out them in an incubator. I put a paper towel in to help raise the humidity. I can hear it pipping and peeping.

    Thank you so much! I have a cheap incubator. I don’t have an option of setting it. I do have it filled to the limit with water. I put a wet paper towel in there as well. I can hear it peeping as well.
