DD18 went to Easter dinner with her in-laws and well...long story short I have 25 Muscovy eggs coming!!!!!!!!!! They robbed a nest because the homeowner doesn't want any more ducks and they don't eat the eggs, they go out and destroy the nests...which is ugh...but anyway....I HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO DO DUCK EGGS! Help....somebody...please...I just scrubbed the bator

TWENTY FIVE!!!! I can't BELIEVE IT! What's the humidity days 1-25? and then days 25-28...oh wait Muscovy 1-32 and 32-35....right? I think...can ya tell I'm overly excited?!?

I have 30 minutes to prep for these eggs or I WOULD do a search...I'm not lazy...just in a bit of a rush!!! THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!

I have to have a huge moving sale in a few weeks first. It's still going to be sold, but I have a place for these babies with or without living here. So...all I need to know is HOW.... Oh, and this is NOT all of them...there is 2 more nests of about 30...so........they'll be destroyed

I just candled. 5 fresh eggs no development at all probably not just clears either, 1 was dead and...the 19 good ones are at different stages of development. Most likely are around 10-12 days. Another duck was seen laying in that nest, so I figure the clear ones were hers. Anyway.....I have 19 in the bator, dry at the moment, just trying to keep them warm. One had a detatched air cell, but not bad...probably hit a bump on the way here. Likely will lose several along the way, but......I gotta research duck egg incubation now.....

I know...that regulation is OFFICIALLY on hold as of 4-1-10...so......I'm going for it BEFORE they are outlawed...grandfathered flock will be established. I want to raise these for meat anyway.
