Yes you're right

Maybe if he gets to have babies they might patches on them too

Are you getting him some females?

if I use the scovies to hatch chicken's eggs will they raise them for at least a month? will they cover them at night?

anyone else who has experience with this is welcome to advise me.

I don't have experience since I've never let my ducks sit chicken eggs before, but the chicken eggs may not hold up under a duck feet or weight of body. they aren't near as tough as a ducks egg.

I don't raise chickens, but Muscovies do make amazing mothers and how they make their nest and how I heard from one of my many duck books, Muscovies trap humidity in the nest after a good swim or the moisture from the ground humidifies under the female and it's perfect for duck eggs but I don't know about chickens

I set turkey eggs under a Muscovy last year. They were fine but didn't hatch as they were not fertile. She sat on the properly and didn't break any. And they are of the same toughness as chicken eggs.

Thanks for saying. I would think those fat butts and big feet would be a problem...lol

I am concerned about that too. but I noticed that my duck never jumped on the eggs as my hen did and broke 1. if I decide to put chicken eggs under a scovie I will tell you the results.

in meantime any advice or opinion are welcome.

If you put chicken eggs under a goose than maybe she could break them but muscovies females are actually quite small
