How many eggs will my female muscovey lay ?

[poultrykeeper08]

my muscovey has a nest of 12 eggs and she still hasnt set yet . What is the average amount of eggs for a muscovey ? Isnt it like 15 ?

brenda(ahbee011) hatched 17 out of 21 froma muscovy, but i dont know if they came all from one mom.

they can lay up to 180 a year if you dont let them set

My muscovy went broody after having 15 eggs, and the other had around 19. So anytime now.

Weird question---are duck eggs good eats? Or any other large fowl eggs?
