Muscovy eggs Hatch-A-Longs

[Christine04]

This was my technique

Temperature
37.5°C

Humidity
50.5% and the last 2 days 70%

Turning
Three times a day every 8 hours

Misting and cooling
On day 10: 7 minutes cooling
On day 14: I raise the time to 15 minutes and also start misting the eggs at the beginning of the cooling period
On day 21 til day 33: it goes to 20 minutes of cooling with the misting at the beginning of the cooling period

Its not the best but you can try it if you want

Thanks very much, it's pretty much what I had jotted down from Google give or take a degree, it got you hatchlings (almost) so you must of done something right

It is just a project for me and i was socked when i saw the egg peeped
If no other egg will hatch it will be okay for me
I aslo hope the others hatch
I will try again and again until i will have a good hatch rate
Keep me updated with your muscovy eggs

I will keep you updated, I've read on Google that Muscovy eggs are really hard to hatch and it's the actual hatching side of the process that they fail to do, growing normal until then.

Yea, i know
Thats why i am not surprised if they dont hatch
Hope you will have much more luck than me

So guys something happened and its kind of funny
After a few days i put the muscovy eggs in the incubator my brahma hen got broody
The days that took her to get broody after i puted the eggs in the incubator i got 5 eggs that went into refrigerator
When i saw she got broody i got the eggs from the refrigerator and put them under her
Look what i found this morning

One chick outside and one under her
I didn't check the eggs even once
I just put the eggs under her because she is broody from the start of spring and its making me crazy
Gave her a few weeks some meat birds
She stopped being broody
But she got again
And this is what hatched
