Muscovy laying eggs

[Poultrylady2022]

My female Muscovy just started laying eggs yesterday. She laid one yesterday and one today but she is laying them in the same nesting box that the chickens lay theirs in (the ducks and chickens are housed together). She isn’t sitting on them but I was wondering if I should leave them or take them out.

Gather them as you gather your chicken eggs.

She won't sit on them until she has laid a clutch and gone broody. Realistically she should have a nest site separate from the chickens as they may interfere with her once she goes broody.

Ah, do you want her to be broody? I mistake what you said. She'll likely not go broody anytime soon, as she just started ,there's nothing going you can do to make her broody, it's a hormone thing.
