Muscovy-palooza
Songster
I have a muscovy that has been nesting in a box that is elevated 2' off the ground. Two of the three eggs have hatched. I am afraid that the two are going to get curious and active and fall out of the nest and get hurt or not be able to get back to their momma. I think they hatched yesterday or the day before. There is one egg left and no signs of it beginning to hatch last I checked. Should I move them now or wait? Or put the babies in a broader until the other egg hatches? I already have a 2 week old duckling i am nursing so they could be together.
This happened before and the momma stayed on bad eggs while her babies went exploring. I had to intervene that time as well. I feel like no matter what she will not leave that egg.
