Mixing eggs

[MeeMoo]

Currently I have 3 muscovy hens all laying eggs however the problem is they all want to lay in the same nest. Now how do I solve this

Normal behavior. Why is laying in the same nest a problem?

They will pick a favourite box to the point of sitting on top of each others to lay eggs and they usually pick the same one so you can’t really do anything

Last time 2 of them did this and I lost upto 9 unhatched eggs

Setting together can have issues. With my chickens I use dog crates to seperate when necessary. I have not tried to move a Muscovy.

My Scoveys did this too, and a lot of eggs went dead too. You could try dividing them up into 3 separate boxes. I just accepted to loss, as there were sooo many eggs, but I can understand wanting to avoid this loos. Good luck, I'd like to know how it turns out if you separate. They may roll them all together agian tho.
