Thank you. I'm fine, I currently have 6 Muscovies 1 drake and 5 ducks, and I'm currently getting around 3 eggs a day, that's when I find, the what seems to be like ever changing nests

What did you end up deciding to sell them for? $5 is cheap, so I'm not surprised there gone if that what you decided on!

$5... If i let her hatch more i think I'll ask a little more

Ok I have 2 broody hens. One been broody for a little while and the other is just starting. I keep taking eggs away, but they staying broody. How can I get them to stop being broody?

It has to run it's course, just keep taking the eggs and let them be. I have one who has been broody since March, I tried locking her out of her house, nope didn't work so as long as she comes out to eat swim and poop I leave her alone. Here it's just something they have to get over on their own.

I took away all the eggs and shut the duck out of the house. She then decided to lay eggs under the shed and in the other pen. After a couple of days, she seemed to get the idea and now just buries the eggs in a nest. Now another one is laying eggs under the shed. I tried ceramic eggs but that just seemed to make her meaner. Very hard to break. So far, so good. Mine are out eating bugs and running around now. As noted by Miss Lydia, sometimes nothing works. It's a hormonal thing, I guess. I was annoyed by the practice, but did build a special area in case another one went broody and wouldn't give it up.

Here's the male protecting wifey- in the last 3 months since she laid her eggs he has become fierce!

Here are the 7 week old babies (4 drowned and 3 were not fertilized) I can't believe how beautiful the offspring are!

I think they are muscovies....
