Here are our little guys. Out of a dozen eggs 6 hatched. I knew 2 were bad from day 10 of incubation but thought the rest were ok. Either way, we are grateful we got 6.
Thanks for all your help!
Hello everyone! This is my first time incubating goose eggs and want to be prepared. My question is if they need any vaccinations? Fowl pox, mareks or anything else? I have been reading a lot of posts here about raising geese and I think I am ready but wasn't too sure about vaccinations.

Hello everyone! So my moms friend is giving us a dozen African goose eggs. This will be my first time doing goose eggs but am pretty expireanced doing chicken eggs. After reading what seems to be 1000 threads, I cant find anything on people talking about using the sportsman 1502 for geese.

Hello BYC!
I have some questions that hopefully someone may be able to answer.
Earlier in February of this year I purchased a pair Cemani from a "breeder" that I found on eBay selling eggs. I paid $230 for a 3 month old pair. When I opened the box I noticed the roo had a lot of white...
Hi y'all! So I want to try my hands at incubating goose eggs. I have a sportsman 1502 but can't seem to find any trays for them. I saw somewhere someone make some trays that supports the eggs with welded wire. Kinda like a basket secured to the tray and you just lay the eggs in the basket. They...
Sounds like the same thing. Not sure what to tell him or what to do. I've read on here that giving a chick a very high dose of an Antihistamine will cause the chick to over dose and die in its sleep. Im thinking this is what he's going to do also.
