    Brinsea MAXI EX ii - Goose Eggs

    I have that incubator, and honestly, I don’t think they would fit. I believe you’d need to use a Brinsea ovation incubator... ok. I just looked in their website, and the brinsea ovation 28 holds a maximum of 9 goose eggs. The Maxi ii ex is not big enough for goose eggs.

    My duck is terrified

    Kidding.... the more you handle the duck gently and make it feel safe, the more likely they are to simmer down. Sometimes that doesn’t even work and I wonder if the suit really would help!

    Exotic birds fertile eggs

    No, I think this is the wrong place to be asking this. As a side note, according to the Nigerian customs website, importing eggs to Nigeria is prohibited. "Prohibited: - All kinds of beer, mineral water and soft drinks; - sparkling wine (including champagne); - all fruits, vegetables, cereals...

    Illinois...

    I had a RIR that started molting in December and didn't fully fill in until May or June. No eggs the whole time. It was so frustrating. Now she's back to her lazy 2 a week schedule. And she's barely two. My mother in law keeps saying that she wants to be a soup.

    Moving to Illinois

    I live in the city of Chicago, and I have chickens and ducks and three beehives. There is a lady a few blocks away who has chickens and multiple roosters. Although not prohibited, she lives on a double lot, in between two apartment buildings, and she has landed herself in court not because she...

    OMG. They are poop machines of the first order! They have also almost tripled in size in less than a week. Wow! I love them.

    First incubation of duck eggs

    Here they are, and all of them are active. Three in the picture, five sleeping under the heater. They come running to me when I talk to them. During the last week of incubation, I was talking to them a couple of times a day. And if I was on the phone I went and stood by them so they heard my...

    First incubation of duck eggs

    Yes, I like shelf liner idea. It was a brinsea hatch pad... like cardboard - a bit crappy if you ask me.

    They will, and I’m preparing for that, and their permanent home. I’m having a landscape company build a pond for them too.

    First incubation of duck eggs

    Some are a bit more more splayed than others, but they are seeming to correct it. We’ll see. They are active, drinking and eating already. So cute. So messy.

    First incubation of duck eggs

    Yes, the little one did. A lot of blood when the little one popped out, protruding navel, but breathing strong, and alert. I think it’s a he, he’s resting well in the incubator. Steady breath.

    First incubation of duck eggs

    I’ve move all but two hatched and one yet to be hatched to the brooder. Two hatched just before I went I bed, and one is trying to hatch still, but I don’t think it is going to make it. I see a lot of blood, like it broke one of its own blood vessels - I’m hopeful it will make it, but I’ve been...
