    Just an update on my goslings, they still follow me around when I go into the pen, but mum and dad are certainly the boss when it comes to the babies. I try not to interact too much with goslings as parents are teaching them more than I can. They now stand up to my "bossy ducks" and give as much...

    Instead of baby food jars, I use the plastic cooler/heating blocks that you put in a picnic cooler instead, they seem to hold temperature more stable. I have just built another bator using an old bedside cabinet, just waiting to see if temperature stabilises good enough to put eggs in next week.

    Looks like I will have to sacrifice another picnic cooler box to make another bator for goose and duck eggs then. My goose is laying every 36 hrs at the min but still too cold here in Spain to let her sit. My ducks have yet to lay but as its their first year will let them off being pekin duck...

    Just a bit worried as I have goose eggs in my bater as well and they are not due to hatch for another 14 days after chickens, what is best advice on humidity as a best of both worlds (chickens (21days) near hatching and geese (35 days) 2 weeks later).
