I got them as adult birds. They were never close to me but they will come and hang out at where we work 😂😂 they ate 200 of my lettuce transplants last year. I feel like we have some very complex relationship going on here. They used to run towards me at feed time. Not anymore since the babies...

I started with two geese the year before and last spring they hatched 2 so I kept them too 😁 but I added a few more into the flock last fall now I have too many 🤦

I tried to separate the nests and I'm getting really confused with them. I first tried to move my broody hen to her own nest with just chicken eggs. She keeps on going back to the duck eggs. Then I separate them apart and leave three nests in the pen. End up the two ducks sitting on one nest...

Thank you @Berd Man and @AGeese I'm wondering how mad the geese will be 😂😂 and how long will they be mad at me for I currently have 8 but I'm planning on replacing most of them with my own hand raised one year by year. I have two in the house right now that I plan on releasing back to them at...

I knew when I started incubating that those eggs are not in their best condition. But I figured I'll give them a try. Tho next time i would be more careful with them as this time I was kinda half paying attention to them and didn't get around to cool and mist on day 10 onwards. One of my geese...

Hey guys I have a mama goose hatched 5 goslings. I have one hatched from the incubator n I took one from their group. Im gonna keep the two but planning on rehome the rest What's the best approach to do this ? Right now the whole flock is watching over the goslings I feel like if I waited...

Hi guys I have 2 chicken 2 ducks and 2 geese sitting on eggs right now Most of my birds free ranging except a few ducks. The one one chicken is sitting on is a community nest with many laid there... I didn't notice her being broody till a few days later. Now some of the eggs she sits on are...

He hatched but was not in good condition He couldn't stand up and neck was bend... I had a friend who would hand raise him but he didn't make it to the destination :( Tho I just had another goose hatched It was a staggered hatch

Hey guys I need some advices here This is the goose egg I'm hatching. This one has been chirping inside the egg for 2 days. So this morning I decided to open a safety hole on the fat end of the egg. Which by the look of it, the gosling is in wrong position and I have no idea where the head...

Thanks for the reply I'm pretty certain that the gosling is in bad position. After I opened the safety hole this morning , I peeled back a little bit shell and there was blood so I stopped, dried up blood with paper towel and put it back with paper towel wrapped like a donut under it. I peeled...

Saw your comment and wondering if I can pick your brain on this I have some goose eggs that's hatching. One of them has been chirping for 2 days with no signs of external pip... So I opened a safety hole and left it for a.while but still no progress so I opened a little more and noticed that...

Ohhh I really hope yours goes well !! I love geese I don't have really high hope on my eggs this time as I didn't really collect them on time. Some has been left out in the freezing nights.

It had been two days since I hear him chirping and no sign of external pip And I suspect he is in a wrong position too as the Air cell is on the side of the egg not on top. I did end up helping and peeled a little shell off ( my son is really hoping for a gosling to care for ) but he is not...

That's what I was thinking. The air cell on the eggs are very odd looking too. I assume because they got cold at night after they were laid. I'm gonna make a safety holes tomorrow if they don't pip externally then. I actually have another 5 eggs in there that I put in after a week lol. So...

They are pilgrim/chinese goose mix ( I was under the impression they are pilgrim until one of my male who is almost pure white turned to be a female 😂😂) Really hope they will hatch soon lol. Next year I'll do some duck eggs with goose eggs again like I did last year, it's so much easier to...
