Muscovy incubation

[Gelan]

Good Evening Everyone
My sweet Muscovy was incubating eggs and frightened away by dog. She didn’t return for several hours. Will this ruin chances of eggs hatching?

They should be just fine. Eggs, especially duck eggs (being bigger), take a long time for the core temperature to get low enough to kill the developing embryos. The worst it would do is delay the hatch by a day.

Hopefully she'll hatch out some gorgeous babies for you soon.

Thank you. I can hardly wait to get my first babies!!!
