I've had another terrible 'scovy hatch with only 3 out of the 10 who made it 'till day 30 made it out.

I think I've figured out what I've done wrong this year, so I'm gonna gamble on one last massive incubation. 46 eggs!! That's the most I've ever done in one batch.

I pray all goes well for you and you get lots of eggs to hatch! :)
 
I have a broody hen who quit her nest after the first two ducklings hatched. I quickly realized when l put them im my incubator she had been collecting eggs from other hens. Here are 8 of my staggered hatch. I still have 5 eggs in the incubator plus a freshly hatched duckling. Momma duck has her two ducklings with her so no picture of those two.

They're so cute! Do you think the colors will help you tell gender (sex linking)? Thats my goal so I know from day dot
 
Been watching this post for a while and I finally get to contribute! I finally was able to add a couple of little muscovy babies to my flock yesterday. Here they are! Can anyone help me identify the color of the one on the left? It was the only one of it's kind in a group of about 40 and the lady said they only hatch out a few of them each year.

Thanks for joining us here at the Magnificent Marvelous Muscovies thread! Your duckling looks like it might be blue fawn with white
bibbing though I'm not 100% sure. It will be easier to tell when it has all it's feathers in.

Happy Muscovy-ing! :)
