WHen do you anticpate starting to pick hatching eggs???

I wish I was closer.. I have 5 pilgrim girls who would love to meet your boys. SD to PA is a little log though...

We hatched five geese and no gander, and now it appears every place is sold out for the season. Willing to arrange travel for a significant distance, so Dakotas, MN and Iowa, maybe Nebraska all interesting. Might trade a female for a male if someone is intersted. Thanks for looking.

I also hatched 5 and got all females. Wish it were less than 500 miles from me!!!

All eggs hatched succesfully. I am a little disappointed that the sexing did not appear to work in this breeding, unless they are all female. One is distictly lighter, but not like I expected at all. Looks like these may not be great breeders, but they will get us a start. Tom

We ended up needing to help some. I think the humidity was just a touch low. Of the five that developed, we have 4 that are out and really good, and one that may have been helped a little too much. Still moving, but not very vigorous. It is so hard to figure when to help. Anyway, they are...

I followed the above program basically exactly and we are in the middle of the hatch as I type. We bought 8 pilgrim eggs on ebay. 5 developed, and we have hatched three and the other two have pipped. The eggs were a little dirty and we did not clean them. We did have a little trouble getting...

I have 5 pilgrim goose eggs in the bator hatching for the first time. It is now 330 in the morning and the first egg has been pipped for 18 hours with very little further development. I now have three pipped and all making noise. Humidity reads 80 percent, I just committed a sin and opened the...

We have some anconas in the incubator right now, and we have high hopes or them!!! For some reason our runners have quit laying right now, but we have high hopes for them as a potential local money maker for us too.... Tom

We have five goose eggs in the bator, and the first has just pipped!!! This is day 29, and we are currently at 5 live eggs out of 8 ebay pilgrims. This is our first time trying to hatch geese, and it is a lot more work than the chickens!!! We turned three times religously, and cooled and...

Looking to purchase a set of eggs for core group of exhibition quality Black Orpingtons for my kids long term 4-h project. (Multiple years). ANyone have anything or suggestions for contacts I would appreciate it very much.

I have about 35 eggs in the bator (first hatch in a homemade incubator). 10 mailed jersey giants, 8 cuckoo marans from the same party, and the rest mutts from my barn. We are at exactly 21 days right now. The first of the Jerseys hatched last night about 1am, Then a trickle more through the...

We have a couple of litters of Blanc de hotot rabbits on the ground if anyone is interested. Should be ready in a week or two. Thanks.
