If she can cover them, I think they have a good chance! I would be very excited.

Thought some of you might find this interesting... I accidently cracked one of the eggs from nest #1 so I decided to take some embyro pictures of it.

Okay, so it looks like most of the cold eggs from nest #4 are alive, so I have something like 30 eggs that might hatch in January.

Question for those with Muscovy incubation experience... what's temp/humidity settings have you used?

@Chiquita , I will gladly give you a few duckings when they hatch if you're interested.

Thanks, I think, lol, was hoping it would be easier, but it looks like they might be as tricky as peafowl eggs. Guess I'll have to break out the gram scale and make some notes.

Thanks! We also got a video of the heart beating, but can't figure out how to view it on the computer, lol.

Decided to crawl into the bushes and check nest #3... looks like she has 10-13 eggs at about 18-24 days.
