 You should post a pic, they shouldn't be bloody.

 

Why don't sheep shrink in the rain?

 

 

Why is there brail at drive up ATMs??

 

 

Why are their floatation devices instead of parachutes in my airplain seat???

 

 

If a tree falls in the woods and my husband doesn't hear it, am I still wrong????

frow.gif Hi everyone! I finally get to check this thread out. I have one lonely goose egg on day 3. It was given to me by my mom's friend who found it by the water by her pond. She has toulouse, africans, and canada geese so could be any or a mix of the above. Didn't think it would grow, but I see a dark dot in there and it's been getting bigger, so now I'm hopeful. smile.png

The babies are still in their shell completely, but its bloody where they aren't ready to hatch yet
I love my animals, they are my life and I couldn't imagine it without them!

If someone says, "Don't do that! You wasn't raised in a barn!" I can honestly say, "I was too raised in a barn!"

Hey Julie, that is very cool you are cooking a mystery goose egg!  It will be fun to get reports as it grows.

Are you verifying by candling or did you externally pip them??

If it has shrink wrapped then will the high humidity its sitting in help to loosen it back up so it can internally pip?

 

 

Ugh, I have the added stress of the ducklings. Well one of them really. It has a birth defect and it hobbles on the side of its right leg. I don't know what to do with this poor thing. The geese chase them when I let them out of the pen. It's no big deal for the others because they can get away. But this poor guy cant, and they got a hold of him this morning and bloodied him a bit. It was sheer chaos in the goose village this morning. My daughter was helping me and one gander went after her, and the goose and other gander went after the ducklings. I had to make a split decision between rescuing my daughter or the poor duckling, and no mother could ignore the screams of her child. When I got to the ducking it hobbled to me as fast as it could and laid down on my foot. That just broke my heart. I don't know what to do...hit.gif

No, it will not loosen up without directly applying warm water.  Then, the higher humidity will keep it more pliable.

 

Sorry about your poor duckling!!  How old is he? Can you keep him separated with a calm buddy??  Have you tried polyvisol and niacin supplements??  What are you feeding him???
