    hatching geese eggs

    I know, I must stop, something took one of my broody chicken which I missed to lock up last night but strangely that's seems to have given me an excuse to put 4 more Buff Orpington eggs into the incubator this morning!

    Have a look on the sticky for geese, Petes put a guide for hatching goose eggs which changed my success rate from 0% up to 70 / 80% so highly recommend it!
