It takes about three months for the Muscovy duck to fully mature. These ducks are known for their large size and odd markings.
Muscovy ducks do not exhibit strong maternal instincts like some other duck species. If you touch a Muscovy duckling, the mother may not necessarily reject it as long as it still smells like it and she identifies it as her own. However, it's generally best to avoid handling ducklings unless necessary to avoid stressing the mother duck.
Call duck eggs typically take around 26-28 days to hatch, but the exact time can vary slightly depending on temperature and humidity levels during incubation. It's important to maintain stable conditions for the eggs to ensure a successful hatch.
