Muscovy on eggs aprox. 29 days.

[valley ranch]

We raised her from a chick. This is her first clutch. She's been on for about 29days. We have a bator but plan to let her hatch. Is it around 35 days that they should hatch? She will not permit an egg to be taken to candle. Any comments are welcome, I was very young last time I had muscovy.

35 days is a median incubation period for muscovies. Hope that you/she have a successful hatch.

Thanks, wifey and the girls are taking care of her.

They can run 37 or even a touch later.. they can keep you guessing.. i know the hatch we had in March kinda hit mid-point 36-37 ish...

Yep, had them hatch at 34 days or go to 36 or 37. Time of year and nest location perhaps result in varying incubation temperatures. Update and let us know how things turn out.
