Muscovy help

[paulaspina]

I read someone's very long instructions on hatching Muscovy duck eggs.which seemed impossible. I have had no success yet. I sent them to someone to incubate they didn't hatch. I sent another batch of someone else her and incubator stopped working. Feeling frustrated. I have a momma on nest in my garage. Ducklings should hatch in 3-5 days. Mamas hatch the best but I have some in an incubator and have no idea if they will hatch. Is there a sime way to do this?

Hatching eggs never seems to be simple, at least not at our place. I just lost a whole clutch under my mother hen, who was in a locked crate, because some predator apparently reached through the wires and pulled the eggs out! I don't see how they could possibly fit!
As for my incubator, I never use that unless a chicken abandons an egg, simply because I have so many broodies I get more than enough chicks as is. I may use it some day though, to hatch out new breeds of chickens to add to the flock without having to get a minimum of 15 chicks.

I know you've probably read all this, but since I don't raise ducks, this is all the information I can offer. I hope it helps: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/incubating-and-hatching-muscovy-eggs


Best of luck!
