Muscovy keepers share your pics!

But they're not trying to hatch just peeping

Not an expert, but if they're peeping it means they have pipped internally and will probably hatch in the next 24-72 hours. Peeping = air in lungs, right? Only air they can breathe is in the air cell.

I've read that one should stop turning Muscovy eggs at day 31-32. Do some research and get that humidity up.

That I can't tell you you'll just have to see when ducklings begin to hatch that they don't fight over the ducklings and cause any to get hurt. I can only relay what happened with my hens when they shared a nest and chicks, I've never had ducks share a nest before or ducklings. I hope it all goes good. When is hatch day? 

should be mid next month

Sorry no end of this month I think

I have twelve eggs in lockdown! 3 or four have already externally pipped!

No, you need to stop turning so that they can get into position to hatch.

And, you need to get the humidity up as high as you can, and then sit on your hands, because waiting through the last part is the hardest part.

It's not a loud peep but still do u think I should really stop?
