Thanks Lydia! By the way, Twist is 100% recovered and as darling as ever.

Thanks Sue! I have pete's guide and personal help on this thread to thank for my success. Best of luck that you hatch beautiful babies too!

Wow - more babies and all looking strong and healthy

CONGRATULATIONS

You've had a very good result and should be proud of your acheivement - well done.

I'll be interested how the remaining eggs are but so far you've had an excellent hatch rate - I'm very pleased for you

I am so thrilled at your hatch result as the shipped of some of those eggs. Reaffirms my choice in how to pack the eggs for sure.

This might sound stupid but in the first picture On the gosling with is head up it looks like it already has a dewlap or am I just seeing things?

Well, my goose hatching is done. I see no progress in the remaining two eggs, but I got 4 out of 6 beautiful and strong goslings to hatch. Now it's time to get the bators ready to set 36 duck eggs later today.

Here are my babies this morning:


Celtic, I agree completely!! The irony is the one ebay egg that I propped up per Pete's detached air cell article is the only one from that set that hatched.

My word they are adorable little fellows and Im so very pleased for you - what a great result. Also very exciting the you also managed to hatch one of the more problematic eggs and shows its well worth a try instead of giving up on them.

Thank you everybody about your postive comments about the incubation guides

Well you've got a lovely little group of Africans there and here in the UK we're looking forward to hatching some of our own. We've a Buff trio and the youngest has laid 3 eggs so far but need a few more before we set up the incubators for the year. The gander has turned out very well and we've had some sucess at the shows with him. We're hoping to produce some goslings with similar type to run on.
