Congratulations Beautiful Babies. I can only tell you how the buff gen works with my geese who are african. But should be the same. The Buff color is sex linked so if the boy is pure Buff (no other colors in his background) He will throw the buff to his girls. If there is grey or something else...

Absolutely not. Age has allot to do with it. I look at it this way the babies are just practicing this year and the ones that dont make it the whole way would probably not have been strong and healthy. Next year your going to go out and pick up there 3rd or 4th egg they laid and be amazed at...

Thats kinda normal for first year geese. Fertility is hit and miss early die off on development happens allot in they first eggs also. My girl that is 2 years now are most of the eggs that are making full term. If your girls keep laying late season eggs have the best chance. Hang in there and...

Thats fantastic. This year since my birds are going to be my retirement fun! I invested in a OVA- Easy-360. Cabinet incubator. And got my generator fixed just in case. And bought heating pads just in case all else fails. There is nothing like hatching baby geese. From the time they can talk...

There are folks 3D printing turning trays for goose eggs for that incubator. check etsy. I used 3 Janoel 24s last year that had the height and turned the eggs but they came with there own set of issues. because of the size of African eggs they did not regulate the temp well when they were fully...
