    What breed of Geese do I have?

    I have 2 geese that I thought were Toulouse. However, all the pics I have seen of Toulouse geese they have a yellow bill. Mt 2 have heavy black bills with almost black feet. Sorry I have no pics, I may post some tomorrow if need be.

    Switching incubators during the hatch?

    Has anyone ever switched eggs from a still air bator to a forced air bator halfway through the hatch? Just wandering if it would cause problems.

    First attempt at Hatching. Things I learned.

    Well, my first attempt at hatching was a success in my opinion. I managed to hatch 7 of 12 eggs. The last few days seem to take forever. Things that I experienced that I was not aware of; 1. My eggs did not start pipping until late the 22 day. Don't give up on them. As a matter of fact I...

    Day 21 and not a pip?

    When do I start getting nervous? I candled them the day I quit turning them and the few I checked had a dark blob in them with very little air cell. This was my first time and I used a LG 9200 and turned 3 times a day by hand. The temp was 102 most of the time with very little fluctuation...

    Good Poultry magazines.

    Are there any good Poultry magazines available? I went to the magazine store and they have nothing pertaining directly to poultry. If there are none but some that cover other related things, let me know.

    Build your own BATOR question.

    I have been reading most of the posts on how to build your own incubator. It has been very helpful to say the least. Any how I have one built and in the process of getting it regulated. It is approximately 20" square by 20" high. I mounted a CPU fan in it and added a small night light wired...
