I have a goose that looks alot like that
Her dad was a large buff toulouse
Her mom was an African goose
She is very sweet and gentle, and not as skittish as my chinese geese
Your little goose is beautiful by the way
Rooster. When you cross a barred rock with another breed, the barred offspring are roos and the black offspring (not barred) are females. I have a few roos who look just like this guy
Oh Sheridangirl - I'm very sorry to hear about your eggs.
My little gosling has made a hole a little bigger than a dime, and he is making the cutest little sounds!
I want to help him but I'm being a good girl and letting him hatch himself
Crock pot idea
Could you put something (a thick bowl) under the ceramic pot so that it does not touch the heating elements in the crockpot, i.e. so that the ceramic crock pot sits a couple of inches up off the floor of the heating part?
Just a thought
I'm new at this, just had our first hatch
The same thing happened to us
I set up the brooder and removed the oldest chicks which helped
Good luck with the hatch!
