I recently got back some Muscovys that I had given to a friend... One hen had started a nest before I got them back so the eggs came with her... Two eggs have been developing in my incubator as she would not sit back on them. I have two other hens on eggs but not no where near ready to hatch. These two eggs are due any time...tomorrow and I hate to have lone ducks even thou I did put in the incubator. If I put in a nest I feel sure they will hatch but then mom would probably desert the other eggs when no others hatch. What would you do??? One of the sitting hens is the mom to these eggs.... Should I put them in her nest????? Help me decide quickly what I should do???
 
Believe I have decided to just continue hatching the eggs in the bator and letting the other hens set in their nests and raise their babies too.... They'll all be friends and family in the end!
