I am so "eggcited"!!!
I tried to hatch Muscovy eggs before with 0 out of 24 hatching.
So I tried a second time with 12 eggs. First time was in the incubator. Second time I put the eggs under Silkie chickens, they set for about 3 weeks then abandoned the nest...ugh!
Luckily the eggs were still warm in one nest, so I brought them inside, candled them and found only two eggs with viable ducklings inside. The other eggs were all bad, some never started to form, others looked like early deaths. I quess the 2 hens could tell they were bad and thats why they abandoned their nest. I put the 2 eggs in the incubator and they continued to grow, moved them to the hatcher friday, had first pip last night and when I got up this morning had 2 Muscovy ducklings in the hatcher!
