If any of these eggs hatch....

They are kind of old and I hit some nasty bumps on the way home...roads are terrible due to tremedous rain and flooding

Yes! Muscovys are real good fliers, I think most people clip their wings. Otherwise they end up on neighbors roofs.

Yahoo! My blue hen must be getting close to setting. There were feathers packed all around the eggs this morning. I can't wait. I did add eggs to the incubator as the other girls cannot seem to pick a nest yet. Their eggs are in a different spot everyday!

I hate to incubate them myself, but I don't want them to get too old. I guess I'll have to join the group.

Well, one of my hens was absent from the yard all day today. Around six oclock she dashed up to the house squeaking. I put some food out for her and she started choking it down as fast as she could. Hmmmm...I'll bet tomorrow I'll find her in the nest box on the the pond. So, now I have a dozen in the bator AND a broody hen

Good luck to all of you with Muscovy eggs. I set 60 duck eggs yesterday(mostly Muscovy and some Indian Runner), so I have a long attachment to the incubator (at least 3 time a day hand turning) for what is going to seem like forever.

Are you all with eggs in the incubator hand turning ? and also are you doing the cooling of eggs 15 mins a day after 10 day of incubation ?
