    Any tricks for bonding with my pekins (7 wk old)?

    Wish I had some really good advice or stories explaining how we now have super loving pekins . . . . but.

    Hi all, Searched a bunch hoping to find this already in the waterfowl forums, but no luck. Lots regarding chickens but nothing on geese. One of our Pilgrim clutches hatched about 4 weeks ago (9 out of 10 eggs hatched). After 2 days I found the runt in front of the barn by herself barely...

    how long for hatch to complete?

    Don't know if breed makes any difference, but our Pilgrim geese have ranged between 1 & 8 days to hatch the entire clutch (Amazingly enough, this year all 4 had hatched all the goslings within one day of starting to hatch).
