are muscovy eggs easy to hatch???

[chickenlver2013]

I just got 15 eggs shipped to me the 17th and only 6 eggs are developing the rest are unfertilized. I spritz the eggs once a day and turn them once a day.. the vents are cracked but I don't know if I should leave them completely open due to my house birds running around. Theyre due to hatch the 21st. Is there anything else I need to do? Anybody??

Muscovy eggs can be a challenge from what I've read here, but they can be hatched successfully in an incubator. Here's an article with some tips and info:

Also pop in at the Ducks section and ask the breeders there if they have some pointers for you. Good luck with your hatch!
