Hello Ed,

My research on the WWW found that it takes about 28 days for most duck eggs 
to hatch.  While I was unable to find an incubation time specific to 
Muscovey ducks, this is probably a good estimate for your little friend.  
And yes, she may go on to breed again this year.

Here are some web sites about Muscovey ducks and incubation information:
