I'm surprised (and quite pleased) that Mopsy continues to sit on the eggs. Then again, not much to do in a rabbit cage! That was one thing that kind of made me weary of putting Flopsy's eggs under her, as I didn't know what the difference in incubation time was between them all, but it seems to be turning out okay.Aww... Super adorable Wind!Mommas know things about their babies, even while in the egg. They also can sense time and if chicks don't hatch in a timely manner, mommas will just end their lives. This is also why staggering hatches is bad with broodies, once hatched babies are a couple days old, mommas start to focus on the live babies, caring for them and will abandon eggs even at the pipping stage. Nature needs to keep those alive that survive the test of hatching.
As she continues to sit her remaining eggs, she also clucks to the babies and shows them the food (right in front of her). All the chicks appear healthy, so...
Although at least by then, the Muscovy eggs should have hatched and she'll have that nesting box all to herself. Yes, she still forces her way in (as the scovy hisses and bites) and lays her egg there!!!
