One night I realized we had a power outage so I hooked up the incubator to a spare car battery for the night using the adapter that came with the incubator. During the 27th through 30th days I occasionally misted the eggs with warm tap water. The next day I placed them in the incubator at 99F and within five days I could see that all were fertile when I candled them.Soon I saw movement in seven out of eight eggs during candling and out of perhaps unnecessary precaution I culled the one egg Which lacked movement.

A large, domesticated male adult can reach 15 pounds, almost twice that of a female Muscovy. Weight Muscovy ducklings can grow to 12 pounds in just 12 weeks. In an experiment, they reduced the fly population in a cow pen by 80 to 90 percent. They'll eat small fish, termites, millipedes, small reptiles, grass, slugs, bugs, flies, mosquitos, grain, and items that grow in your garden! Best of all, if you aren't a big fan of flies, White Muscovy ducks are voracious fly and mosquito eaters. Muscovies aren't particular when it comes to diet. They like trees because they are the only duck breed that perches in trees and has claws for that purpose.

Muscovy ducks prefer watery habitats surrounded by trees, especially rivers, coastal wetlands, ponds, and swamps. As such, they are the only domesticated duck not to have descended from the mallard. Muscovy ducks were domesticated in Europe and discovered in Brazil.
