    Raising Muscovies for meat. Incubating eggs?

    I finally separated my Muscovy pair from the khaki Campbells last week. I am up to 8 Muscovy eggs today. I know oftentimes they'll lay huge clutches of eggs and hatch them all out, but other times they'll stop laying at around 13 eggs. I would really like to hatch out more then that, so I can...

    Muscovy hen with pronounced limp

    Yesterday I came home from a 4 day trip and found my Muscovy hen under the shed with a clutch of eggs. She was too far underneath the shed for me to get her so I let her be. This morning when I went to go feed the birds I noticed she was limping quite badly. So I picked her up and immediately...

    I've got 4 Muscovy eggs on day 29 in the incubator and I noticed two of them wiggling. I removed the automatic turner and checked back about a half hour later and one of the wigglers moved a couple of inches and had spun around 180 degrees to point in the opposite direction I left it in and I...
