Muscovies females

[Abel8989]

Will Muscovies continue to lay even if I collect the eggs everyday, I got 4 females two weeks ago and normally get 2 to 3 eggs daily and I know they will stop once they got 10 to 16 eggs but if I collect and don’t let them pile up will continue or will just stop. I will be letting them hatch a few but I want to know if it’s kinda like a trick for them to get the eggs and make them think it’s not enough egg for the clutch so they will continue. Sorry I’m new with ducks only had and have chicken.

No, they'll lay regardless if you collect the eggs or not, however they are more inclined to go broody if there are eggs in the nest.
