HELP runaway duck with new eggs

[sarahkoko]

As far as I understand it muscovy ducks are very good and keen to go broody, so no, just leave the eggs in the nest and see if she starts sitting on them (although it will take her a while to build her clutch up) you could always candle them after a week then to see if they are indeed fertile.

oh ok thankyou so much, the eggs wont rot during the week? its pretty hot in australia.

With Muscovy egg shell being so hard and thick, it's difficult to use the flashlight method of checking fertility. I would crack it open to check fertility.

ok thankyou ))))

First your Hen will need to be Broody in order to hatch eggs. They will lay a clutch of eggs and once she is satisfied with the amount of eggs she has laid, she will begin to set them..She will need to be bred in order to have fertile eggs.

thankyou so much for the help
