Oh my goodness, yes- mine is like the one that torments the other we have. It's helpful for me to read about other's experiences with this. When my muscovy was broody for 5 months, she got to the point where she didn't come out without being taken off the nest. I just don't want it to get to that point again. With the above feedback, I'm considering getting some fertilized eggs for her to sit on and hatch. I just can't keep them. These ducks are always keeping us on our toes ; )I have 2 Muscovy brooding on nothing I make sure to take up all eggs. One is pretty passive comes out a few times a day to eat and swim and of course do the broody poop. The other one is cranky as ever she has to be separated from the other muscovy or she torments the females. She has a bad attitude toward everyone except she isn't aggressive with me. Neither is the other one. I use to try to break them doing everything except I never have used a broody breaker. I just let it run its course watching them hang on the hardware cloth going into their house was too much for me so now they just get to sit as long as they come out every day. Both these girls are going to be 11yrs old in July you'd sure think they would be over this. But they surprised me and both have laid this year.
