Is Duck Egg still good to hatch??? Last one

[Muscovy-palooza]

Thank you for all of the guidance. Sweetie Pie did just as Miss Lydia said she would. She was a good momma and tried her hardest but knew when it was time to move on with her other ducklings. She was in the barn stall and figure that she must has picked each baby up and dropped them out the window to get outside. Should I let her stay in the barn with them and come and go as she wants or should I contain them? The other ducks aren't bothering them. If I leave her to do her own thing I would make an area for her to more easily get in and out without having to toss the babies out the window.
I may could get her to voluntarily go into the coop at night. Since this will be their first time out it may be a good time to get her trained in that direction.
Any recommendations appreciated.

I'd separate so others don't kill them..

When I have mama Muscovys and her ducklings they have their own area with temp fencing so everyone can see each each other but mom and babies are safe usually after a couple weeks the ducklings are able to stay away from the others if any one wants to harm them. Sweet pic!

Do you know what color you would call the momma? Also, there is one yellow and one brown and yellow. Does that indicate what color they may be? Is there anyway to band little ones to more easily identify them? I know that they would have to be adjusted frequently because they grow so quickly. All of ours look so much alike. Then when they molt they change a little in coloring. I can tell our original three apart from the others because of their personalities. I am going to watch closely to try to tell if they are Male or female. We had so many males last year that we didn't have many females to compare size. What is the earliest that we may be able to tell?

You could use tie wraps in different colors but they grow so fast you’ll have to watch close they don’t get too tight. I used bands for my Runners and they were a pain one got his back toe caught in it and seems a few more did too so I took them off for good. They are going to change a lot over the next 6 weeks so you might as well just sit back and what the progression. If the little yellow one begins to get black coloring in its tail feathers more than likely it will be barred. I usually have to wait till around 4 weeks in to tell drake from female by then the drake is really starting to out grow his sisters.
