My friend hopefully someone else on here can help with that. I have no idea as I only have ducks but love looking at others beautiful birds. You are most welcome.
My Hubby had to work at a Chicken farm as a kid growing up so I am banned from having chickens as he can't take the smell or thought of them. That's okay though, I got him back, I have my 20 ducks instead! LOL
It looks like a lot of eggs under her. Do you know if they are all fertile or were developing. My Momma Mallard was sitting on plenty but only 4 hatched as the rest were not fertile. I was unable to candle them though because she was having nothing to do with me touching any of them and I...

Yes, my young white Muscovy had mud all over her back so I know she was being mated. The only thing that throws me off with that is it hatched at 28 days and Hinnies are supposed to take longer.
My first time Mallard hatched out 11 when she went broody at a young age. My Mallards are excellent Mothers though and are great at hatching out eggs. I had slipped a few other eggs under her before she went to sitting and she hatched it for me. I just don't know whose the Momma to that one...
