Muscovy egg hatching?

[mamaduck1616]

Hi all,

I am new to BYC and to owning ducks. I have three Muscovy hens and one Drake. They are actively breeding and have laid eggs. The firsts were laid about 13 days ago. How long will eggs last in the nest?

I know mama duck sits them through the night and into the afternoon. There are now about 18 eggs in one nest and another nest has 6. Shes also pulling out her feathers and putting them in the nests.

The weather has gone back and forth between 60s during the day to 35 during the day and in the 30s at night.

Are my eggs still good? Will they hatch?

Thanks in advance for any answers

I think at least some will probably hatch. There is a broody duck thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/850706/the-broody-duck-thread-for-2014

Perhaps you can post over there.
