When to incubate eggs

[Dfarago]

My Muscovy has laid 20 eggs over the course of two weeks. Her last egg was laid six days ago, however she’s not getting as broody as my other female. She’s completely covered the nest with hay but spends most of her time outside of her nest. Should I give it another few days and see what she does or should I put the eggs in an incubator?

Well for muscovy ducks ive experienced a lot from these ducklings..

When i was incubating mine, it was at 95 degrees, and it took 32 days for the first duckling.

But a muscovy egg expires at 7 days old after laid.. So if its really important and theres a lot of eggs, id suggest using a incubator because muscovy dont get as broody as you think.. Good luck!

Not all Hens of any breed will become Broody. Collect eggs and incubate them. Candle day 10 and toss out the duds.
