You have GOT to move.

I might take you up on that at some point.  Or I might just buy an adult male for Fiona.

Not sure yet, honestly.  It depends how long it takes me to figure out who's what and how long I have to feed the piggies, lol. I've already caught one strutting, and him and my favorite lil guy have funky wings compared to the others. Their primaries are longer and stick down like a tom's already, so I'm hoping I have 2 boys and 3 girls but need to look up and see how old they need to be to know for sure.   If you guys want to hatch your own and haven't decided on a breed I highly recommend the seller I got them from if she is still selling (http://www.backyardchickens.com/t/634478/for-sale-turkey-eggs-and-african-goose-eggs). Bought 6 eggs for $27 with shipping, got 8 (packed wonderful, only 2 loose aircells no broken aircells), had 8 develop, 7 hatch. First time incubating turkeys, and in a staggered hatch with many other types of eggs in a still air lg. 

 

 

 70, how've you been?
 

 

 

 I agree with QJ, time to move. Kansas City is a very friendly place ya know. 
 

 

Love it!

I know.  My goose hatch ended up with 4 in the hospital, and 2 walking (or creeping) out.  It is tough.  Please don't give up on yourself, QJ.  maybe some of your ducks will be in sitting mode next season, and you can slip some eggs under one of them.  Or, you'll just have better luck.  Its been a rough hatching year for everyone.  I'm gooseless now, and I want to be alone in it.  I hope that wee baby makes it for you, and restores your faith in yourself.  If you can hatch  humans, you'll get geese right eventually.

OK, my hatches are going crazy! Once my humidity goes just a LITTLE high, they start hatching! I had my humidity at 77%, and woke up to 5 external pips out of 6 eggs! But one baby was dead. But I have 6 babies, from 11 eggs. 4 from this hatch (6 eggs) and 2 from the last (5).... Someone tell me this was a good hatch please........ I feel like a failure!. None of my WH cross eggs hatched! They both died.... Well, I had to cull one. He was disformed or something... Something wrong with that baby... but still...

I am on Whelping Patrol right now!!!

My girl has her own mattress in our room, and I have been spooning with her for the last 3 days, and going thru every contraction with her.  I NEVER miss a delivery, and cannot wait for these puppies! I am in a waiting game now, with pups and my 7 Emben Goose Eggs! They were supposed to start hatching on the 13th!!!! & are just now internally pipping! But 6 are going STRONG

After he finally realized I wasn't going to sell them he said I'd like a puppy if you breed them . I told him I'd like to be a size two but I don't see either one of those things happening and walked back in the house.
