I have some good news! One of my Muscovy hens is sitting on ANOTHER batch of eggs!

You won't believe it, but she is actually sitting on 25 eggs!!! My own self can hardly even believe it!
Whoever thought that a small little 5 pound hen could sit on 25 eggs?!
I would've never guessed! She's keeping all of them warm and everything!
I think she's trying to set a record, because up until now the most eggs I've ever had a Muscovy hen sit on at a time was 16 eggs!

They are supposed to hatch August 21st-25th, plus a few eggs that will hatch a little later.
A few days into incubation I found out that a different hen was laying eggs in her nest, so I had to solve that problem before it got out of control.
I plan on candling them sometime within the next few days.

I'm super eggcited for more ducklings!

I just let my ducks out in the morning and put them in at night and they still poop at night...
But....
You can potty train them

Yeah, I even let my ducks stay out all night under special circumstances, cause they would rather stay out! Never ever had a problem with it!
But 70 ducks with more on the way would be a lot of ducks to potty train!

You can train them by the groups... or the other option,
Diapers.
As someone once said,
“We start in diapers, and we end in diapers”. Does “we” count as also ducks?
