Muscovy nest

Ok so my female Muscovy has laid two seperate nests.
One with 14 eggs and another with 7 is this normal? She's sitting on the bigger one and the male is on the smaller of the two.

I have never had a drake that incubated a clutch of eggs, but others have mentioned this. I'll be curious to see what happens here.

Have you heard of Muscovy females having more than one nest? That's what's mostly concerning me I suppose.

Whenever hens of any sort change nest sites, I wonder about the possibility of problems with the first nest site . Mite infestation, predation, rotten eggs, interference from other birds, and the list goes on ---------------------
