Is that a gummi worm?

I've found a few muscovy eggs already. That's unheard of early for here.

Will they lay in an actual nest box or is it a turn over everything and look affair with Muscovies?

 

[JacinLarkwell]

I'll probably only do one clutch. Possibly none if I decide to let a hen or two brood. I'll have to pick who will make the best chicks for hair feathers and fly tying

Nevermind, wrong spring.....

Idk, I suppose they would. Mine are 24/7 free range and I'm lucky to find half their stashes before they hatch them.
Once upon a time I had some in a huge area with a bunch of dogloos they would lay in them probably 90% of the time.
