* Update * ------ I just candled them again. All 5 eggs have a slight scent to them and I do not see any blood vessels stretching around the egg. The embryo is, like, floating up to the top which every way I move the egg. I see blood vessels but they also float along with the embryo. I don't see...

I just noticed that my incubator smells pretty stinky! I'm hoping none of the geese eggs have gone bad! I'm thinking that it might be the pond water? I didn't clean off the eggs. I read that cleaning them off can get rid of good and bad bacteria. But if it is the geese eggs themselves how can I...

I will! :thumbsup

Thank you so much for the encouraging info! I will wait and see what happens :)

They look a few weeks in; from pictures, I believe they could be around 14 days old. I can see blood vessels and a black blob surrounding parts of the egg. I couldnt see any movement, but they might have been moving slightly and I didn't catch it. :confused: I'm hoping they would warm up and...

Hello! We have had AWFUL raining and storms 2 days ago and the water flooded everything! I found 5 geese eggs scattered on the shoreline, one was submerged underwater, another partially submerged and the rest was covered in icky debris. The water was chilly that day and I don't know how long...

I will half to check it out!

Only 1 hatched? That's awful! It would be fun to share pics and see how the incubation process is going for the both of us! I would definitely share pics, but since it's getting winter and not a lot of people are selling eggs at this time, I might just wait until spring. Even though I REALLY...

Hello! I have been in search of Silkie eggs that I could hatch myself. I can't find anyone selling silkie eggs nor chicks in my area so I'm thinking about buying some online. The only thing with online shopping is that I had some bad experience with buying eggs from eBay. The silkie eggs that...

I looked up Hardinpoutlry. com and I couldn't find anything :idunno I am also looking for firtle silkie eggs.

I am very, very thankful for ya'll's help! But sadly she passed away. I don't know if it was the stress or if it was the water solution. :barnie:confused: I never squirted it down her throat, i just put a drop on the side of her beak to encourage her to drink. I hope I didn't drown her... but I...

ok! Thank you for all your help!! :wee

I have another question... when She drinks a little but the chick suddenly "wakes" up and trashes around, and when i try to put her down she just flops right over again... is this normal? @Wyorp Rock

Thank you! I'm praying every second :)

She's getting worse! I am hand feeding her the Corid water but now it seems like she just wants to lay on her side. @Wyorp Rock
