I have a flock of teen goslings (7 weeks). I've lost 6 in the last week. All were found dead in the morning. No signs of illness like runny nose etc.. they seem to start out with weakness, preferring to lay down but will walk and eat. Then they stop eating and drinking.... then they seem to have...

Did you ever find out? I'm raising all FR cockerels as well and they seem starving with these feed amounts. My birds are all in a tractor that is moved once a day or as soon as they need fresh grass. Going to try fermenting the feed

I would appreciate that! Did you buy one of their starter kites or build your own?

Where did you get yours? Should I buy two? Would 2 be essential to moving to the next space?

With the electric netting... is long grass a problem?

What about rain etc? Will you move them to shelter or?

To remove this or to leave it??? This Gosling has been trying to hatch for almost 48 hours. It missed the air cell and came out the side. At 36 hours I chipped away at the air cell portion of the egg only. I have coated the thin film with coconut oil. It seems to have a few red like lines...

Do you think a regular netting with posts would be sufficient? I was considering Premier electric netting..... but was wondering if a tractor of sorts would be would be more reliable. I currently have 15 goslings.

Hello! I'm currently looking for goose containment systems that can be used in the pasture in a permaculture pasture rotation scenario. I've seen lots of chicken tractor plans, but geese are so much bigger. What about square footage requirements in a tractor type senario for geese? I would move...

Hello! Our state has received a huge influx of people moving to it through this whole covid-19. Land and housing prices are increasing at a rapid rate. But something else you should know as we are headed into a pretty bad drought. Another thing to consider is if you are an open thinker when it...

Well, that's good to know! I was having anxiety about one exploding! That's also so cool about the temperature! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Thanks! I'm hoping for better luck with this batch now that I have my temps correct! I candled this am and some of the eggs were just dark blackish colored with the air cell. I cant see a viens. Time will tell. I read in a post on here that 101.5 is recommended for still air incubator for geese...

Hello! I'm hatching out a batch of goose eggs and I'm wondering what to look for when candling to tell if the Gosling has passed away. I'm talking after day 23. Are there any signs to look for besides not progressing ? I'm having a hard time because some eggs seem to be a few days behind. Thanks!

No internal pip yet. No shadowing can be seen through the air cell either.

That resource was very helpful. I really think it was the temperature mistake. So....the big question is : how long do I wait for this last egg? I candled it yesterday at I could feel it moving in the egg. No shadow in the air cell yet. Today I candled the egg and there was no movement that I...
