Your water is sooo clean! Even when I fill mine the second the boy ducks step in, it’s all downhill.

I completely agree!!! I have the same exact problem! It's like the very moment they step in it is instantly dirty!

Yeah! I am so happy for you! Sounds like you'll have ducklings hatching really soon! It takes Muscovy eggs 33-37 days to hatch so they could just about hatch anytime now!

Have lots of fun with your new ducklings and happy Muscovy-ing!

hahaha same! @Daphne_loves_mealworms definitly had the camera in one hand and the hose in the other to get a picture of water like that

Just about! I had just finished filling the pools about 30 seconds before! Within a minute, the water was back to its normal brown color

Hey guys! I was searching hatch times and this thread popped up, how haven't I seen it? Anyways, I currently have 5 adult muscovies, 4 hens and a drake, and today my first ever egg has hatched! I am yet to see duckling but have seen egg and heard it chirping happily away under mumma. How long should I expect the other 10 to hatch? She laid them all before sitting. When I candled 4 a week ago they all looked about same development but I'm new to candling.

Hello Amy! So happy you have found this thread and we are glad you can finally be a part of it! Congrats on your first egg hatching!

I don't know how many days she has been sitting, but it could be quite awhile before all the eggs hatch, because Muscovies can hatch anywhere from 33-37 days of incubation.

Blessings to you and happy Muscovy-ing!

sorry I should have worded my question better, what I ment to ask was, do I count from the day egg is layed, or from the day she finished her laying and started sitting? I didn't mark it on calender unfortunately. Rooky mistake. But if from day they were laid then some would have deceased

The day after she commits 24/7 is day one. Look forward to seeing some scovy babies
