Muscovy hatching 10 days early

How is this possible? What should I do?

Are they under a duck or in a bator? if in a bator get the brooder ready cause your gonna need it fast.

How is this possible? What should I do?

It's in the bator. Will it be ok? This is so weird, it was just set on the 6th and it pipped this morning. I bumped up the humidity and I know to put plastic wrap on the yolk if it's not absorbed, but is there anything else I should do?

Where did you get this egg from?

I got it from greg-n-brittany on Ebay. I had received 4 eggs but only 1 developed.

That is very strange for Muscovy egg to be hatching this early when it takes 35 days. Hopefully someone who hatches Muscovy will be able to help you, I only use my ducks for hatching. I hope it will be okay.. Pulling for you.

I was looking at the seller's info and noticed they also sell bantam mallard eggs and wondering if there could have been a mix up. Do those breeds have similar eggs? Trying to make sense of this, but don't see how a bantam egg would be that large. I sent them a message to let them know it pipped and still waiting for a reply.

I agree. VERY strange.

What color is that egg? And how big is it?

This would be day 24 right?

My hunch is that it's not a muscovy egg. But that it's a mallard, which take 25.5 days. I found their website and they do have mallards. I guess you'll know when it hatches!

I just saw this post. We have the same idea then. Can you post a pic of the egg?
