Incubating Muscovy Duck eggs

[LilyD]

would you be able to get poultry nutridrench? All my birds seem to like the taste of it.

No one around here seems to carry it. Not sure why. I could order it but it would take at least 2 to 3 days to get here. I will definitely have it on hand for the next time I hatch.

tractor supply carries it if you have one of those. In a pinch, goat nutridrops or pet nutridrops will work

I ordered it from Tractor Supply so it should be here by Tuesday. I think she will be all better by then. She was chasing bugs this morning with the other babies in the brooder. She is still a little shaky and tired if she is very active for a while but she is holding her head up and moving around normal now.

it's good to have on hand to help give them a boost if they ever feel stressed out by the weather...heat is horrible!

Quick question.... At what day do I stop turning the eggs? and will it hurt them if I turn the eggs until they pip?

@onionheadtg2014 I stopped about 3 days before because from what I had read it can cause problems for the chicks and I didn't want to take any chances.

Me personally i stop Four days before hatching day, On this day I do NOT lock my eggs down I treat them as normal I just don't turn them and I keep the larger end slightly higher then the smaller end
