I just wanted to share my adorable little baby geese. They're either buff dewlap toulouse, buff americans, or a mix. (There was definitely a dewlap toulouse using in that nest, according to the seller)
They were incubated in the single most ridiculous DIY incubator ever (I felt silly putting...
This little one just hatched last night (after a very traumatizing pipping...it hit a blood vessel and I had to open the egg and stop the bleeding). It looks buff colored to me and it has brown eyes....but I'm not very good at identifying babies.
The person I bought the eggs from has grey and...
Anybody else trying to hatch shipped eggs this year? My goose eggs are arriving tomorrow (today actually....it's 2AM haha).
The incubator is set up and stable....I'm nervous though. Hopefully at least a couple hatch. ❤
My goose hatching eggs ship tomorrow morning and should be here in a couple of days. They aren't even here yet and I'm already almost keeling over from anticipation haha. I can't wait to see if I manage to get any babies (and what breed/breeds I get, since the person has 3 breeds in 1 yard all...
Hi all! I'm looking for a few goose eggs in Maine. Preferably from a breed known for being more on the friendly/quiet side. I'm in Wilton and can drive a ways, but would be willing to have eggs shipped if they were a good balance of desirable and well priced.

Temperament is obviously priority, since...
Has anybody here ordered geese from Metzer? If so, what breed(s)? How are their temperaments and how does their health seem overall? Do you have any pictures? I've only had chickens up until now, so this may not be the case with geese.....but sometimes hatchery quality can be lacking a...
Anybody else waiting on chicks to either hatch or be shipped? Anybody else feeling terribly impatient about it? Or babies are shipping on the 1st and I'm so anxious for them to arrive. This isn't my first time with chicks, but for some reason I just can't sit still this time haha.
I placed an order yesterday for 3 chicks from Cackle Hatchery. A Salmon Faverolle, a Turken, and a Black Australorp. I absolutely cannot wait for them to get here. We have a small flock of adult birds, but I've really missed having little fluffy babies
Has anybody ordered the town/city...
