Hi! I'm new here and I have a question. I am currently incubating 4 eggs but I am not sure if they are Pekin or Muscovy and the incubation times are different and I am worried because I don't know how to handle lockdown which would be in 4 days if they are Pekin. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
 
Where did you get them? What does it look like when you candled?
Hi!
I raise Muscovy’s and we now have 2 Pekins.
They dug a hole and have been laying in the hole but not sitting. So I have them incubating inside. They are all doing well but are different ages.
Hatch time is much longer for Muscovy’s and I honestly don’t know if they are Muscovy, Pekin or mixed!!
The oldest are full and if they are Pekin, lockdown is in 3 days.
But if they are mixed I really don’t know what to do!
Here are some pictures.

*I didn’t realize my husband joined and asked the same question! Lol! 😂

Lockdown??
The 2 oldest are in lockdown. The air sacks are shifting around but they haven’t internally pipped. Is it normal for the air sacks to look completely different? Does that mean that duckling is trying to internally pip??
