    is this common??? Unfertalized clutch!

    I have a Muscovy hen who laid a beautiful clutch of 17 eggs and began sitting on them (went broody) approximately 3 weeks ago.

    I have a year old Muscovy hen who has layed her first dozen eggs in a clutch in the nesting box, but since she layed that 12th egg she keeps rolling several of them out of the nesting box.
