Hi, I have a Muscovy mum sitting on her eggs for the last month, we had to move her now she’s not interested in the eggs. Over the past couple of days she’s been on and off them. What should I do???
 
If she hasn't been consistently sitting on the eggs at this point in their development, they may have died.
You moved her from her nest site. That's why she's not setting the eggs anymore. They don't graft to the eggs, they graft to the nest site.

If a hen is setting in a place that is not secure she needs to be moved before being given fertile eggs.
