My ducks eggs hiding place when it rains the eggs can get wet, will they still be able to sit on them and hatch them if I leave some there?, only one of the duck lays in the duck pen, all the others lay outside and I cant tell the Pekin and Muscovy eggs apart.

The only problem is Pekins take 28 days to hatch and muscovy take 35-37 days to hatch. The Pekins would hatch first and she would leave the nest.

Sometimes the mother will let the hatched babies die while waiting for the other eggs to hatch.

True... one could let her sit on all the eggs and remove babies as soon a they hatch. Maybe buy a cheap bator and put the externally pipped babies in it.

Sooo it's fine to just touch the eggs (to split then up)? I'm worried about her ever seeing me go near her eggs.

Anyway... Thank you for all your responses everyone!

I think I'll buy a cheap bator as soon as I notice any female sitting on the eggs.

Another thing is the ducklings might be crosses because I've seen both males mating both the pekins and Muscovy.
