Thanks. They're an invasive species, so the eggs will most likely be destroyed by someone.

Oh really? I didn't know that Aren't Muscovy ducks domestic? Maybe someone can take in the eggs and raise the chicks as pets or livestock.

There's so many that there's not really an option for them. A lot of the local areas don't allow you to raise livestock, either.
The problem with Muscovy ducks is that they are domestic, and push out the native species of duck present in Florida. They're also extremely aggressive and some of the bigger ones will harass and attack people if they're fed - they will literally walk up to someone eating and go after them if not fed. The native species of duck aren't like that.
