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!
Crossing everything for you Buffbeauty, it's time you had some luck .
I had a mad spell a couple of days ago and ordered a load of turkey eggs off ebay, Red bourbon, Norfolk bronze and mistakenly now I've read about them Wild american Osceolas turkeys (what was I thinking!) so we'll see if I...
Aaagh stunning,....... I was putting the goslings to bed last night and as I picked one of these gorgeous cuddly fluffy little guys up he threw up over my face, and yes it went into my mouth, down my neck and up my sleeves, how nice, don't you just love these little guys! I think he'd just...
I'm really sorry to hear your news Buff beauty, , I was so convinced these were going to hatch, its so sad and frustrating when this happens as it's such a lot to go through to have nothing at the end. I must admit I've switched off the incubator for this year now, loosing those 14 eggs was...
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!
Keeping my fingers crossed for you Buff beauty
I've just lost all 14 of my Dewlap eggs due to a power cut, I wrapped them in a duvet and put them in an airing cupboard as soon as it went off but it was off for 7 hours, they were at day 19, I kept them going for a couple of days after but...

Hi Bookerdog, great pics, no wonder you've been busy, I seem to be ferrying gosling all over at the mo and I've got nowhere near as many, thanks for sharing!
I want to know how Pete can tell males from females just by looking at the pics??
OMG, I may be doing a BOGOFF on Dewlaps at this rate. I've got another broody one this morning. I've hatch 12 so far, I've got another 14 eggs in the bator at day 14, there are 2 sharing a nest of 12 eggs due in about 2 weeks, I've got another 2 on nests, ones got 4 eggs and I don't know how...
Love the goslings gofaster, they're such lovely colours, very cute, not sure I can say the same about your Macaw Pete!
Candled my batch no 7 and 100% fertility - 14 eggs, certainly don't have a problem with that . Batch no 6 hatching at mo, 5 externally pipped and one more internally pipped out...
Thanks everyone,
Pete, the gosling is out of the shell, came out last night and has been in the hatcher all day, the unabsorbed egg balloon has gone down slightly but not a lot, is now getting very upset on it's own so have set it up in the brooder with the others but seperated, hoping it will...
Hi all, really gotta hand it to Pete, my batch no 5 has hatched and I've got 5 out of 8 eggs!!!! All only thanks to his wisdom and help, the first to pip was the egg with the air cell on the side, it did need a bit of help in the end and I also had one pip out of the pointed end, that one is...
Wow, great rosettes Buff, well done!
Gofaster- I love the pics of all goslings and ducklings, they look brill, must keep you fit lugging them backwards and forwards, you've got your hands full there!!
Pete - we're not getting any of that sunny weather up here, it's been wet and stormy for a...
