Muscovy setting on sterile eggs

[Susan Darling]

My female muscovy lost her mate over the winter, but had begun laying eggs several weeks ago. I was collecting them and using the eggs for myself, but she went broody!
She has been on her nest several weeks now. What should I do?

Buy her some fake eggs or even fertile eggs if you want some babies
Or just let her set on sterile eggs then buy her some babies to mother once the incubation period is up.
Or if you don’t want babies just take the eggs before she can set on them.
