Muscovy Eggs Starting to pip

[Miss Lydia]

Hello, I am on 32 days of incubating muscovy egg (8) . I have candled them and see no movement ever. But the airsack looks very good. My husband doesn't want me to discard them yet. How long should I continue with them. I did stop turning them today.

Thnks for ant help. Michelle (Hidden Valley )

Muscovy's can take 35-37 days to hatch so don't toss yet, once duckling internally pips it can still take upwards of 36hrs from internal pip to zip so again don't get ahead of yourself and think you need to help. Good luck and let us know when you see the pip.

I candled the scovy's today nothing at all but 4 more keets are here and doing well.I did get 4 new scovy hens and my drake is beside himself with joy!!! Had them for 11 days and just turned the hens out today for the first time. I love the muscovy ducks.So kind and sweet.Putting them back in the barn is about the same as "herding turtles !" So tame and wonderful.

Sorry sounds like your eggs must have quit some where along the way. But on the bright side looks like you'll have lots of opportunity for ducklings now, I think Mama Scovy's do a much better job than us anyway. Post pics when you can.
