Muscovy Egg rescue ...

[LAYAM]

Took these Muscovy Eggs from the Chicken coop today as I have an Ayam Cemani Hen who keeps on fighting the Muscovy Duck for the right to hatch these eggs ... I didn't think they were viable because it's been getting below freezing here a few times but apparently mamma'scovy has been a good mamma - until that Hen found that nest ... I don't want the eggs to break in the coop because I'd hate for my Chickens or Ducks to start eating eggs, so I brought the eggs inside and placed them in an incubator - I just don't know how far they may already be along

Thank You so very much ... I've incubated and hatched plenty off eggs before but never have I taken eggs from under a broody to finish in the incubator.

WAIT!!!! Scovies go about 35 days, so are we 14 days in or half way through?
I just hatched some a few days ago but damn if I can tell by looking at a candled egg where in the incubation process we are ...

I'd still say 14-16 days. I'd start candling in 10 days, everyday. When you see an internal pip in one just start lockdown. It's easiest that way.
