As far as giving up? well Missy only went broody once after she lost her only gosling to make it to hatch, poor baby died trying to external pip, she did get 2-day old goslings to raise but it took her a couple of weeks to get over losing her gosling, she probably heard it in the shell. I could.
My Muscovy go broody and will stay broody from spring into fall even without eggs under them. They just won't quit. I have tried everything but hanging them upside down to try and break them. I just let them alone now and make sure they are coming out to eat bathe and poop.
