Differance in eggs?
I had a fenced in section on the lake for the runners. They had a house and layed a few eggs in it then they started excaping. I let the drakes out. I have never seen them lay but I know some of the eggs belong to them. Someone is still going in and laying in the nest. But could be a scovy. -
Runner Ducks
There is a brush pile up from the lake about 50 yards or so. I will try to crawl up in there and see if she is in there. -

Muscovy Ducks

Muscovy Ducks
I have one that is setting on 10 or 11 eggs. I have 2 more that are laying. They had 9 and 11 eggs in the nest the last time I looked. They have not started setting. How long should I wait for them to go broody? Should I put them in the bator? -

Indian Runners
Quote: Did you keep track of the days? Muscovy hatch in 35 runners 28. If the runners hatched before it was time for the muscovy she probably just left with her baby runners. -
Indian Runners
I have 4. 2 males and 2 females. The males where together when I got them and the 2 females where raised together also. They all seem to get along really good.
