You are absolutely correct about batches. My girls are on their 3rd batch for the year. They are excellent layers, excellent hatchers and excellent mothers. I have a waiting list of people who want to buy my muscovy ducks for meat. I hear their meat is the best. I wouldn't know because I have never eaten my own ducks. They are so quiet. No quacking at all. I had a total of 60 muscovy ducklings at one time the first round between 3 hens. And the laying and hatching continues. It doesn't look like they plan on stopping, so I let them lay and hatch.
