    Goslings of 2014 Hatch-a-long

    Well, what a shame you´ve not had a good year with your goslings. But sounds like your gander´s doing ok... at least the eggs were fertile. Something else caused them to die... could it be to do with the weather there? Anything different this year? This past season my top gander bred with...

    Goslings of 2014 Hatch-a-long

    Hi, Andrea. You already know what I think on it... I said way back that another female would be good. You didn´t ought to breed Forest anyway, and she may not want to either, being a bit special. and I expect the gander´s confused as to why she´s not being receptive. I´d let Oliver go to a...

    Well, these were auto-sexing geese. No toulouse, no embden. I think he´s just a mucky auto-sexing male.

    Hi serv. Well, he´s not much of a lavender as such. He just has a little grey in his wings that they normally don´t have. Very pretty, though. The ganders didn´t pair with this particular goose, but they´re just cuckoo about the goslings. If they´d paired with her, it´d be different.

    I don´t know how you guys survive. You´re obviously made of very strong stuff. ;) @andreacroyle , chickens are certainly different to the waterfowl. I like my Brahmas (the little chick in the pic that you asked about is a 7/8ths Light Brahma), as they have gentle natures, but chickens are so...

    Well these is probably the last pics of goslings this year.... My mixed-breeds with pied babies. The mom of these babies isn´t in the pic, but she´s a saddleback. The two ganders have taken over the babies and mom is pushed into the background. But babies are doing fine. Mum´s never far...

    HELP! Ganda ATTACKED BY DOG

    Hi. Everything chooks4life said is spot on. Whose goose is the goose... I understand it to belong to your younger gander? I the goose is the younger gander´s goose, put her in there with him. He´ll improve much better with company, then replace the poor mother goose with another for the...

    Newbie in many ways!

    @mightymax makes a good point about feeding them where you want them to eat the grass. I do this. I never use a feeder either at night nor during the day. Twice a day they get a little corn/maize. (I don´t leave it out, it could make them lazy and fat) I chuck it about and they go rooting...

    Haha, I´ve had a gander sit on the eggs, another found an egg I´d taken out of a nest and made himself comfy on top of it... so funny these birds....definitely my favourites.

    It´so sweet seeing them play dollies. They all have such a strong instinct don´t they? Even some of my ganders will do it.

    Hehehe, I still go for it being a male by its behaviour. The video looks to me like boys sticking together. Sam may even 'breed' with him, @Miss Lydia , but you´ll know before too long, eh?

    tolouse geese

    Have a go. 99º is ideal. I´ve managed to hatch out goose eggs after being under a desk lamp for up to a week, but not longer. Make sure you turn them and keep the humidity up. Hope it goes ok.

    x2, but doesn´t sound good. If it was alone, it´d have been making a lot of noise.

    Is beak size an indicator of gender in geese?

    Nothing to do with it. I have both sexes with longer or shorter bills. :)

    HOW MANY EGGS DO POMERANIAN GOOSE LAY

    Hi Zaccurry. It´s best to ask breed-specific questions on the breed thread for a quicker answer, but my book says that you can expect around 40 eggs a year from them.

    Goslings of 2014 Hatch-a-long

    I read somewhere, and I´ve posted this thought before, and others have also agreed with it, that: In waterfowl, it´s the females that 'decide' the sex of the offspring, by how well they eat. Has to do with something in their diet, but I just can´t remember what it is. The earlier babies can...
