Well, mama number two hatched out 5 of her seven eggs. One died shortly after hatching (took it over two days to hatch) so i think there was something wrong with it. So we have four more little fluff balls.. Three black and white and a lavender. Mama number 3 should hatch out hers late this week.
Well, we ended up with nine little ones .. one bad egg and one i was not sure of so i put it under another duck that is due to hatch in a few days.... Colorful little bunch !
Well, we have a nest full of babies ! I cant see how many have hatched so far, due to mama being very protective. ( I have the bite marks on my hands to prove it lol) I will post some pics when she comes out of her nest box with her new family !
Well, two of my eight Muscovy girls are sitting.. the rest are just hell bent on overwhelming me with eggs lol.... The first girl should hatch hers out around the tenth of June ! I candles her nest when she was out eating.. 12 out of 13 are good .
Sounds like she has ! My first Muscovy went broody full time today as well ! and there is two more that should within the week here... 35 days to little fluff balls !
I look forward to seeing everyone's broody progress ! good thread . I cant wait till all my girls start to lay and brood. It will be all of there first year. But, it will be awhile yet. We are currently in frozen hell up here in northern Wisconsin. ALLOT of snow and has been a nasty cold...
