All four goslings are thriving and doing great! The assisted hatch is smaller than the others but eating/drinking on his own! He was literally lifeless for so long, but with a lot of TLC and some Extra cuddles and care he is doing great! The other one that pipped in the wrong area as well...

I have 2 out and thriving, 1 more on the way soon, that first one is a mess, he is out, but pretty lethargic and not really looking too hot. There is a 5th egg that looks to have pipped in the same awkward spot as the “sick” one. So I’m thinking that one is going to be a problem as well...

One out!! The other one is going to be a problem child. I am guessing I’ll be helping him out soon. .Org trying to at least. Eeekkk

Yes into air cell and I did not weigh, so no clue there.

So, first attempt at geese, I’m not sure breed (father in law asked me to incubate them). I have 5/8 that have pipped today! one has his little beak out but it’s covered in goo. Almost caked on, not really sure if that is normal or if he is going to be a problem Child. Thoughts?

Update. She just passed away. Flipped around a bit and then was gone. Poor little thing.

I'm not sure of her age, she is over 2 at least. She had a hurt foot ia few months ago and a poopy butt at one point. We had her isolated, gave her a bath and she was good to go. Fast forward to today. She is extremely lethargic and not looking well at all. She is isolated again and I am...

How is your little chick doing?? We just had one htch with a bulging eye. He's under mama now.

This is what I saw when I lifted her tail fluff.

Thanks. So mom Just got up and the baby has basically hatched . Still kind of in shell and sleepy. We shall see. I didn't touch it. But I did give the mom a talking to to get back in and mother it ;). She is back in nest now with it. Hoping it's going to make it

So mama 2 has an egg that has successfully pipped and is chirping. My daughter was in the coop later just visiting the other girls (the other mama is fine with the first baby now) but this mama got up looked at the egg and started pecking at it. Daughter grabbed the egg and called me down...

They don't seem to mind ;). These are my egg girls, they get to live in luxury and get names. I doubt I'll be able to eat any of there special ones since they are my first chickens. Haha

Thanks! I'll try to get some tomorrow. That front room on the right is my nursery and then the rest is in the back .

Thank you, baby is back under mama 1. I may be crazy but it seems like mama 2 is shivering ;(.

So eggs were due today. I have two silkies sitting. Long story long, they both went broody while I was out of town and my chciken sitter let them sit and they were grabbing every egg they could get. When I got back I marked eggs because the other ladies were still giving them daily eggs and...

They defiantly were not as warm as the other one was prior to hatch. It's as if she turned down her body heat when the baby hatched. . This has been such a learning experience!!

Yeah! I've been wondering how it turned out.

Ahhh gotcha ;). I just went and candled the remaining eggs and they were all quitters. Hate to say it but it was a relief. I'm done midwifeing this year. ;)

Im having a hard time with tossing the eggs if they are viable. Just don't think I can go that route, but I need to get mama into the other coop and out of the maternity ward . lol I thjnk ill just put them in incubator and see what happens. Figures we are going out of town next week so my...
