Oh dear, I'm afraid the gosling was not meant to be and best to leave it to pass away peacefully.
It unusual to find this kind of deformity and similar to spina bifida where the embryonic neural tube fails to close over. In this case it may also be due to malformation of the skull resulting...
Are you certain of your incubation dates?
There are more incubation details on the hatching guide in this section. If you can see active blood vessels then the baby is alive. Blood vessels collapse and disintegrate shortly after an embryo dies.
You've got some lovely birds there and I love the soft colouration of your Lavander. The heads are nice and it is desireable to have the neat rounded heads and an upright 'stovepipe'neck. Really lovely
I thought the post was joking until I saw the back of a Colobus Monkey in the background
Ginger is gorgeous Barb and love the full breast and quilting of the feathers
You wont get Saddlebacks out of that mating but the Grey female offspring will be carrying the saddleback gege
All lovely pictures and I especially like seeing the Buffs. We did produce one Smooth Breasted female who we're running on this year but needs more time to develop her trailers
Hi Wilow. Pleased to hear you also like Frizzle Geese - the Sebastopol and you are correct in that both Frizzle Chickens and Sebastopols have genes that cause curling. However I think the Frizzles gene can be extreme in a double dose.
Anyway Welcome to the Forum
Now I do know there is a...
Hi there Willow and welcome to BYC. I think you'll find that you may have posted in the wrong section for your request though some members may have some. As your in the Geese Section you might want to re-post in the Chicken or Wanted Sections.
Best of luck - Pete

Theron - Also Congaratulations and that longed for first egg has arrived
Well you're breeding season is underwayand better keep those girls supplied in bedding for their nests. There seems to be more and more members reporting that they've already got the first eggs. Over here in the UK we're still waiting for ours to get started!
Some of our Ganders are becoming more vocal and a little more feisty at the moment but Im not expecting them to start courtship behaviour until another month or so. However we'll be splitting off the Sebastopols into their pairings shortly to give them time to bond
We just bought our new trio last weekend - our first Sebastopols. A curled gander, a curled goose and a smooth breasted goose. Like i said we've looked for a long time and some we've seen just dont conform to the type we wanted which is the American type. They're just settling in at the...
Hi
Congratulations on your new Sebastopols, are they this year's babies? They do seem to look like a pair with the male on the left but very hard to tell from a picture.
We've also just got our first ones after searching for almost a year! Not so easy to find nice ones in the UK as the...
