Muscovy keepers share your pics!

I would leave them under your hen since they will be farther along in incubation than these. Your hen will accept the ducklings as her own.

I second miss Lydia. Leave them under the hen bcos the first 3 eggs probably a way ahead in the development stage seven eggs is enough for her to hatch.

I really hate waiting for muscovy to hatch.... I had written down that they were to hatch on Sunday.... and yes, we are 2 days past, and yes, I know that doesn't mean much with ducks, etc. etc.

It is just that 5 weeks is one horridly long wait!

Maybe u should try sitting on them urself and see if that helps...Lol that's nature my friend.

I'm not sure if my duck is actually laying on her eggs yet or if she's just protecting the nest from the kids.

When they are actually broody they make themselves very flat.

My kids say "she finally went pancake!"

I have two hens that have been broody for a few weeks. But I think she's either still deciding or trying to figure out how to fit in the box, which is the smallest one I have for my birds. I'm going to have to build her a bigger box for next time.
