Muscovy sitting on eggs

[iajewel]

My brooders are 8x4 and I dont' think thats large enough for a hen and ducklings. Not to mention the clean up that would be daily if not more for that many. You don't really need a brooder, as they have a mother, you need a safe pen if predators are the only worry. That way you don't have the mess and smell in your brooder and you can provide a larger space.

Here they are! A whopping 3 days old.

Their first swim! Ignore the dirty pool, they wouldn't wait for me to wash it out!

Congratulations! They're precious
My Gal's eggs haven't hatched yet. Sadly I had to toss 4 eggs that were rotten. I hope she gets some babies after sitting this long. There are still 11 eggs in her nest.
