My ducking is at a standstill in the hatching process for 3 days now! 😟

Muscovy eggs are like cement. Trying to crack one over a bowl I feel like getting out the hammer.

As for hatching Listen to what the others are saying I rarely let my ducks including my Muscovy hatch [I don't have an incubator my Muscovy is my bator, ]but These eggs are great for baking and giving to friends. Yesterday I scrambled a dozen and fed them to my flock and my dog. So if you can't keep all these ducklings just collect the eggs daily and give them away and bake with them etc. It's sad when so many people hatch ducklings and then advertise and no one wants them especially drakes so many are dumped out somewhere to fend for themselves and many are killed on purpose.
We have to take responsibility for what we do with our flocks and hatching without someone already lined up to take the ducklings just isn't going to work most of the time. Many including @New duck mommy 2021 Hatches for people that want ducklings that is the responsible way to do it.
I hope this little one makes it out, you have experienced members here to help.

Wow I didn't know that about muscovy eggs! Are they like other duck eggs, aside from that? After you've got them open that is, lol

Nope they are thicker than My Runner and Buffs eggs and a lot of white I've made egg salad out of them but I didn't tell my dh because he doesn't like duck eggs. Haha he had no idea and ate it. But they make awesome baked goods once you get the shell cracked. lol
