When will my muscovy eggs hatch?

Some will keep their ducklings up to 6 weeks some much less my mamas so far are usually 4 weeks then it's time to move on. they will still sleep with them at night but pretty much leave them to themselves during the day. after week 4.

The last two nights when we went to check on her and the ducklings, she was in the nest while the ducklings were out. Last night when we put the babies under her she got off the nest and walked away. Because it's winter here we couldn't leave the babies out side. Put her with the others over night, but this morning she wanted nothing to do with them. Is that normal, or is that she's had enough?

How old are the ducklings? it does sound like she is through, Guess if they aren't fully feathered you'll have to take care of them, I wish I knew why some just give up so soon, I had a couple last year that basically let my gander take over caring for the ducklings,. you just never know.
