So, I originally posted that I'm looking for a home for my 2 female geese, unfortunately, no one wants them. So, I'm looking now for someone to build me a professional predator proof house for them, or adopt them for free. Can someone please help me? I"m desperate. I don't know what else to do...
Thank you! These are pet geese, and most comfortable around people. Not that they wouldn't socialize, but they are people geese LOL You have pet geese, ducks and swans? I didn't even know you could have swans as a pet?
Hi everyone, my name is Amanda and I'm in White Lake. Last year I hatched 2 geese with my children for the hatching experience, however, then we named them, and I still have them. I can't keep them, I"m in a subdivision, but I can't take them back from where I got the eggs because they will be...

Thank you. She lives about 40 minutes from me. I haven't told her yet, but I will. The last one never externally pipped, so I made an air hole. Just after I tried to save Nemo and he died. I said I wouldn't give up on this last one. I opened the shell a little just in the air cell area. I saw a...
These are eggs given to me from another BYC fan in Michigan. She gave me 10 Rouen/Runner eggs. One had a crack and died after 1 week. I received it like that, so I don't take the blame. I also don't blame her, eggs get cracks, it's life. 2 more I threw away last week as they started turning dark...
I just feel awful. I also have a runt baby. It hatched on it's own today, but it's WAY smaller than all the rest and gets weak easily. I'm feeding it grow gel + B to make sure it get s the nutrients it needs. His name is Sampson. He and Deliliah hatched today. Geez, I 'm crying like a baby!
What I meant about the wetness is, when I saw there were no external pip marks I went to pick up the egg and felt something wet, what it was was the baby had externally pipped underneath and that's the wetness I felt.
I just have such a passion for life. I have an automatic turner on my incubator. I have never used it. I prefer to hand turn. Because I talk to them when I do. I let this little life down, and now I'm crying and I should have never incubated. I had 100% success rate last year. This is my 2nd...
Thank you. But he looks so perfect. And I really tried hard for him and now I"m really upset that I killed this poor sweet baby. Makes me never want to hatch again.
This duckling has had dark blood clots since 14 days in the incubator. I could see veins leading to it, it looked black upon candling and there was clear fluid around it. There has been an issue from the beginning. I didn't see new clot recently . I almost threw the egg away 2 weeks ago because...
He was completely up side down. I almost threw his egg away last week from all the dark blood clots I could see in his shell when I candled. I could see clear fluid, which was weird because non of the other ducklings had clear fluid when I candled them, with veins leading to 2 or 3 dark blobs...
Nemo has died. :( Ok, how to I explain this. Picture an egg, and you candle it, and you see a huge air cell from the fat end of the egg down to almost the middle of the egg. That egg is sitting in the bator. Having not touched the egg, I happened to find an external pip underneath or the...
