I haven't updated in awhile but I had 5 grey pom eggs due yesterday. Of them 3 hatched. Two were backwards...lost one of them through the night. The other one is still holding on and I hope will be ok by the time I get off work and back home. All of my geese have quit laying. One African...

My local PO is very helpful. I live on the other side of Asheville from where I work. I went to the PO at work and that is where I got all that nonsense from yesterday. I told them where they dropped the ball. It is our local sort facility. I'm sure they are all upset as the news lately...

Celtic-sounds like my shipment of goslings...very frustrating. I received a letter from the head office USPS and they want a copy of proof of insurance on the receipt and take that with the letter to the local PO. Well I did that and they said I had to mail that back to the head office because...

Sunday'my Giant Africans. s hatch. Only set two and both hatched. These are from

Update on the shipped baby buff poms...they are in the owners hands now. They all made it alive after being in the mail for 55 hours. Amazing little babies!

Updated tracking says the babies are at Dade City, FL as of 9:34 - Out for delivery...I really hope they are on a safe ride and don't get left in the sun or something.

Can you give me his contact info or send him mine? Also, I'll look at that store. I need to find a better way to water the goslings since they try and swim in the waterers we have now.

Cool I do have an iPhone...will get that right now. I'll order some more grogel today. Yes I'd love to get some more calls. I got rid of everything except 3 whites and one snowy last fall due to divorce and now the kids want to start showing again so I'm jumping back in. I haven't had blue...

I've already been to the PO this morning. Had two adult calls to pick up. They refunded my shipping. But...they couldnt' even tell me where they were at. The final destination is Dade City. The buyer is a kid...which makes it worse on my nerves. The PO said they scanned out of Tampa last...

USPS update...The baby buff poms are in Tampa FL as of 8:57 pm last night. They were supposed to be delivered by 3 pm yesterday. I'm really praying that the babies are still ok. I gave them a bunch of chopped greens and GroGel so hopefully they make it. They have been in the USPS system for...

Well I'll add another bad news story for the USPS... The four buff Poms that I shipped yesterday are missing in transit. They were guaranteed by 3 pm today. The tracking last said yesterday they were in SC which they never should have been since overnight goes out from NC straight to FL. So...

Don't get too upset about power outages. At day 6 with this current hatch, my battery backup failed and I wasn't home. The incubator temp was down to 70. This would have been for almost 8 hours. I did not have any problems with the geese at all. It may have hurt the already scrambled...

Celtic, I'll let you know about the call hatching. I've only got two pairs right now. Another pair leaving the Chicago area heading here today. I've got to get back into building my flock up again. I sent the four baby Poms out USPS this morning heading to Florida and they said they will be...

I use one of those baby suction bulbs that you use on babies noses. Put the end of the temperature probe inside the end and leave the bulb inside. It acts like an "egg" and you will get much more stable temps and it will be more accurate to what is inside the real eggs next to them. Yes it...

Marty this is the incubator I just started using this year. I have four LG and needed a change since my call duck hatch rate isn't better so I chose this one. It holds much better temps and consistant than anything I have used before. Plus since it is hard plastic it is much easier to clean...

Update-8 of the 9 hatched and doing well. 5 boys and 3 girls. The one that tried hatching upside down didn't make it. I tried helping him but ran into blood vessels and quit and I think he suffocated. I have 4 going out to Florida in the morning. Incubator is officially empty and getting...

Seven fuzzies this morning. One had gotten stuck and the upside down one I peeled a little to help him. He should be fine now.

Three of the new buff poms...still drying out. Have 5 out now. 3 more almost zipped out and still the one upside down.

mohillbilly - they are acting like they are about done with laying. I'm sure I'll still have africans but the poms will be ending soon. Celtic, I checked on the wrong end one again this morning before heading to work and he is still moving. I may crack him open this evening to make sure he...

I have 9 hatching in the next day. I have 5 externally pipped, 3 internally pipped and one that I think is turned around wrong...not pipped but moving. Will post pictures tomorrow when more is showing. I have my last waiting list shipment going out tomorrow. I have already 2 more buff pom...
