How many Muscovy ducks do you hatch each year?

Again I don’t hatch any of these guys yet but I would LOVE to have some calls someday. I need to get a definite separate duck coop and run first. I have twelve ducks with 24 chickens right now and the mess is insane

Starting to get serious about breeding this year. Planning to break ground on a breeding pen this Wednesday, and I've already got 3 eggs collected for the incubator.

So right now - zero. Ideally, probably around 40-50. Absolutely no more. Going to test the waters with this batch. That will determine my future endeavors.

If anyone is selling female call ducks near Michigan…. Maybe let me know…..

I set at least 100 throughout the year, but only 35-40 actually hatch unfortunately.

This is my first year; hoping to incubate close 45-60, and let them try to sit on some. I just put in 22. Wish I'd been able to start a smaller hatch last month.
