Muscovy keepers share your pics!

I let my female Muscovies sit and incubate their own eggs. The first time, with multiple hens laying in the same nest and two hens taking turns sitting, or incubating side by side on the same nest ( 24 eggs), some did not hatch, I didn't bother opening them, just threw them out. The second clutch was fine, mother duck hatched all the eggs.
I'm assuming that some will hatch and if some won't, no big deal, there are still a LOT of eggs for eating and selling, the loss of less than a dozen is no problem.

So I stayed up all night last night but was forced to come inside around 10 ish but I stayed up till around one none were gone today , I'm thinking about finally getting a duck house any ideas?
if something is talking them at night some sort of duck house is needed ASAP
 
I know but te hard part is how I'm going to get them in it, mine really hate being confined, I'm also going to outline the woods in chicken wire to make sure I don't have enough to do the hole thing but I'm going to get part of it done today
