Muscovy

[StaJ]

My 2 female Muscovy ducks laid eggs 37 days ago. We candled them yesterday because we weren't sure if there was any life. All of the eggs were not viable. When we cracked them open a milky white substance came out. It looks like one egg had life but died. We are letting the girls sit on the eggs themselves, but it was cold when they started. Could that be why the eggs didn't take? We have never done this before so thank you in advance for the help.

I also have Muscovy ducks - 8 ducks and 2 drakes. Sorry but I don't have enough experience to be of any help but wanted to sympathize. Just reread you message and have a question. How many ducks and how many drakes do you have?

We have 3 females and 2 drakes. We do want to expand with other ducks too.

Sorry can't help. Last year's clutch had 9 eggs and only 4 hatched. The females did share nests and duckling duties. Hopefully someone with way more expertise will have some ideas.
