Muscovy Incubation, by Broody or Incubator

[MinnesotaNice]

I've always wondered why they're so tricky to incubate versus other breeds.

I tossed quite a few eggs out, so I don't think I'll get great results with the batch in the incubator. I think I'm done trying it.

You've had MUCH better success than I ever did

Now that I see how well the girls do, I don't think I'll ever try again.

I've been away busy taking care of a turtle attack, trying to get the turtle and we are re-digging our pond. I've just been exhausted. My girl Bugs got her foot chewed up and a bite that looks like it tried to take her leg off. Now she bites and snaps like a turtle. Treating her has not been fun. Hoping to put her back outside this weekend

Snappers I'm assuming? Hopefully she heals up perfect for you!

My only duck Baby, went broody on 20 eggs. At the time I had a Drake (another story lol) but anyhoo 4 were infertile, which left 16 and only six internally pipped and ANTS killed 3 if those and one was a little runty. I don't have the Drake anymore but I'm getting a new one tomorrow or the next day !

Thanks ms Lydia! It'll be a little 'ling but I'm pretty confident I'll pick a male. I'm just going to grab the largest, lol! I'll update!

Yes

It got Fred in the butt and no sooner then I had him out of the house I had to admit Bugs. Her bite was much worse. I actually thought I would have to put her down but she came around and hopefully will go back outside tomorrow

How is everyone at your place?

sorry for the losses. I had ants get a baby blue bird nest once. Just broke my heart. Congrats on the three that made it. Post pictures if you can.
