    I made a movie with them in their shelter for the night, during day are free to roam in the yard. In the beginning the larger one is in front, smaller ones are in the back. "boci boci" is a call they are used to hear when i want to "talk" with them or call them. The larger male, 2 smaller...

    Geese ID

    Heya. Those are my 3 geese, ~6 months old. Any ideea what breed/sex they are ? I'm almost sure the two smaller on the left are males, they are the most agressive, the one on the right is bigger than both, but is calmer. if they are 2m/1f, it is safe to break them and give a male away, and keep...

    cause of death

    i manage to obtain a 60 % icubation rate. problem is that infertile eggs were to few. i opened a few eggs and the problem is that embrion seems to be fully developed, (so is a late death) but they dint pip into the "air room", so they die in the shell probably becasue asphixiation. what's...

    Lockdown question

    i took out autoturn grate, i manage to get humidity at 65. first pip. ~12 h early i think, but i've made some mistakes during this days (one time unfortunatley temperature was over 39 for 5-10 minute) so i'm rather pesimistic :( . still hope everything is ok in the end.

    Lockdown question

    and one more question. auto turn is not perfect. egs are marked with lines. so i may have 30 with one line up 20 with the same line down. on day 18 should i manually make sure that every egg is on the same mark ? or i should leave them how they are ?
