I read this thread for the very first time yesterday when I noticed 4 of 5 eggs externally piped.
This this is what I saw this morning when I went to go check on the progress the eggs.! Mama Muscovy was very happy amd proud to introduce me to her new and her very first hatchling.

Waiting for the next ones to hatch. Although I did see mama help her hatchling out of the shell.

yinepu, what starter would you recommend? Purina Start & Grow or some other brand? Sometimes you have to get what's available. Right now I have them on some non-medicated egg layer type of feed from a mill, BUT I DO NOT INTEND leaving them on this, it is just what I had on hand and I was going to the feed store today, but have my plate full and will go tomorrow. Sort of glad I waited and read your post so I could ask recommendations.
And yeah, I'm fond of exotics, mostly Aspidites and Gilas. Still carry a fair share of scars from some pythons in the 18-22' range.

Also, Jon from WOWSAFARM, what do you suggest ? Just look at your babies Jon, the cutest little buggers, huh? I am a former Marine and seen my fair share of war and sorrow and I usually don't get all excited over some eggs that hatch, but I guess I am just getting senile huh? I'm like an old mother hen as the saying goes.

Sir, my name is Holly Fawcett and I want to say thank you for serving and fighting for our country so that my family and I can be safe and free citizens of the USA. I do not know what you went through and honestly I don’t think my heart could bare to know, but thank you for your dedication and bravery. I salute you. I understand your post was 10 years ago, but I hope you receive this and know how respected and appreciated you are. Words cannot even describe the respect my family and I have for you and your family.
On a side note, your post and updates have helped me so incredibly much!! Oh, and I do not believe you’re senile. Life is a beautiful thing. I don’t think seeing new life form and come into the world could or should ever get old. Thank you
