Muscovy excitement! (and questions)

[lovesanimals101]

I just got three muscovys a couple weeks ago 1 male and 2 females one just started to lay eggs about a week ago and I'm wanted to incubate some should I wait a few weeks or how am I suppose to know if the male is getting my female.

I'm new to this myself. You may be able to tell from candling. Or just start incubating and you'll know in a week

Does anyone have pictures to show what they look like in one week or something to know it would help.

wow this sure is taking forever - I spotted a third external pip yesterday with a bigger hole, this morning I saw a beak working in there. Little progress if any in the other eggs.

Hang in there. They aren't in a rush, no need for us uprights to be in one. They'll work in spurts. Keep us posted!!

First one hatched while I was at work.

It was starting to poop everywhere, push the other eggs around, and tear everything apart, so I moved to the brooder.

One in the brooder, two in the incubator, they can hear each other, and I think they are trying to get to each other.
