URGENT NEED FOR MUSCOVY EGG

[aacoulas]

Hello, I live in West Palm Beach & have a Muscovy nesting outside my house. She has been sitting for 9 weeks & I fear she will starve herself if she doesn’t get a hatchling soon. I have been feeding her but she doesn’t leave her nest at all. A friend suggested I find an egg and slip it in her nest (somehow) and then she will raise it when it hatches.
PLEASE HELP!

She's a wild animal and it can be against the law to do that. I know you're trying to help her but I wouldn't. Have you tried calling the DNR or wildlife sanctuary agencies in your state/area to see if someone would come relocate her?
