    Look at this sweet face on my new baby goat!!!!

    I used whole cows milk for my 2 boys. A lot of people suggested the whole cows milk over the milk replacer. However, I don't think you would want to use cows milk AND replacer - that's sounds like too much - just one or the other. Do you have other goats to keep him company? One goat is a...

    I have a Sebastopol and one more on the way!!

    A sebastopol just hatched and the other egg is pipped!! I started with 4 eggs that were shipped within state. One didn't develop, and one died at about 2 weeks. I also cheated and bought 2 goslings a week ago, because I was worried that the eggs wouldn't hatch - now I might end up with 4...

    Advice for incubating geese eggs

    Just wondering how most people do it. I've read humidity recommendations of 55 to 65% for the first 25 days, then 75-80% until hatch. Also, it seems most people mist them once a day. Anything else I should know?
