    Will noise or vibration effect hatching?

    Yes please, if you have time- no hurry, this would be a next winter project for the following spring. Good luck with your hatching!

    Incubator

    I have a question about vibration- where we have our incubators set up in the house, I noticed as we walk into that room the eggs wiggle a bit- I can hear them just slightly moving. We have an old house with weak spots in the floor problem. Would this mess up incubation? We go in there probably...

    early death goose egg

    Thanks for asking this question, I was going to post about it too. So any egg with this blood ring WAS fertile, but is now considered dead? I see the same thing in several of mine at 7 days in, but definitely have some embryos visible in others...

    Does Holderread sell sexed ducklings?

    I don't think they do- but email them to check, maybe they sell adults after the breeding season is over, probably not right now though.

    watering geese

    You can see half of my "cement mixing tub" on the left side of the photo---I'd say it's about 2 feet by 3 feet, maybe 8 inches deep. The plastic is not as thick/heavy as the rubber livestock tubs, but not brittle like smaller utility pans I have bought at the hardware store. It's amazing! As far...

    Do you sell your goose eggs for eating? Questions...

    I had a lady tell me she buys blown out eggs for 3.99 a piece at a crafty store (this is near Mpls, MN) so I told her we'd sell the unfertile eggs we have, blown out, for 1/2 that. I've been told out here 2.50 to 3 EACH for eating eggs. But when I do the math, selling eggs even at that price...

    watering geese

    we use a cement mixing tub (never used for cement of course)- it holds 30 gallons, but we just fill it half way, twice a day. They can get in to bathe, but the sides are high enough to contain a bit of the water whent hey splash around. Works well for drinking and bathing/mating, plus this type...

    Goose nesting problems

    Hey Susan- I feel like I'm in the same situation- new to geese and wanting to add them as supplier of meat for us and our customers. Their personalities are so different than the ducks and turkeys, it's been quite interesting to watch the breeding season begin and supervise the drama. I'm loving...

    Brutality in mating season?

    I'm still new to geese, but this sounds pretty normal. The geese are so crazy for any attention that might result in a mate, it seems to me! I'll have a group of females gather round a gander mating with a goose, and they cheer them on, and sometimes even try to pile on for some action. Kind of...

    Goose gave me a scare, followed by 1st Vet visit

    I'm sending goose prayers for April. You are a good momma! I remember when I took a chicken to the vet and the clinic thought I was crazy. All beings deserve good care!
