My two young Muscovy girls have been sharing a nest, which was their very first attempt at brooding. They started with 25 eggs, and as of two days ago, were down to 14. Yesterday, was day 35, by my calculations.
This morning, I took a peek when they were off the nest...no babies and no external pips. I pulled one egg that didn't look good, and it burst after I bagged it up.
At what point do I pull the rest of the eggs?
Also, I've heard recently that you shouldn't permit nest sharing. How do I discourage this in the future?
