Let's have a gosling hatchalong!

I Have 3 eggs left in the LG Toulouse . Day 19 or 20 . I was wondering can anyone tell me I just purchased 4 buff dewlap Toulouse and they came in the mail. They are so much smaller than the Toulouse dewlap eggs I have is this right or did I get ripped off? They are noticeably different in size from 2 different sellers. I would think they would be at least comparable just asking . I will incubate them regardless.

yearling geese can lay smaller eggs, so you could have been shipped the goose equivilant of pullet eggs.

One could be from a younger goose. The older they get the eggs get a little bigger. I have a yearling chinese and a 3 yr old chinese there is considerable difference in size.

Best of luck on a great hatch! I love my dewlaps and have 18 (buff & grey) that are between 1-3 years old. Yearlings lay much smaller eggs and the babies will also be smaller.

Our 4th baby Sebbie hatched Tuesday am (again right before we woke up that am)...I had to tape it's legs for a few days, it seemed spraddle legged (on 1 leg) for some reason- it hatched on rubber shelf liner- so I'm not sure. Whatever- the tape is off and it's walking around with the first 3. One of the pack now...3 are 1 week and 1 day old, the little one on the left is 1 day old in the group pics....on the right by itself in the 1st pic.

Congrats on the little one getting his legs under him and joining the others!
