A Beautiful Female Muscovy Sitting on the Eggs – Nature 62

We have two posting about eggs and a mother duck. At the first posting, we didn’t know the species of duck.



Image 1- A beautiful female Muscovy.

Then, we understand that the owner of eggs is Muscovy instead of Mallard ducks. You may read the previous two postings:

As you might know, a female Muscovy duck will lay one egg almost every day until reach the clutch point.

The mother duck sitting on the eggs to incubate them for about 30 to 35 days instead of 28 days.

The sitting on the eggs for “most of the day.” The mother duck very brief to leave the eggs sometimes. The purposes are for getting food, water and just relief.

Let’s wait duck eggs hatching!
