    Need assistance from Barnevelder experts, PLEASE!!

    The lower chick looks like a splash. At this age the blue is still quite dark but possibly distinguishable from standard, this looks is pale like the splash. Cross the splash to the standard and you will have all blue or the splash to a blue and get 50/50. Oh and you wee commenting the legs...

    Need assistance from Barnevelder experts, PLEASE!!

    Likely not. The Barnevelder, Blue laced Red Wyandotte, Blue Copper Marans and several others all have the same method of inheritance of Blue. Blue is an incomplete dominance when you cross splash (the light form) and the black. If you cross two blue birds you will get 1/4 the splash, 1/4 the...

    Goose with duck eggs?

    You can try but at a week old the goslings may not want to stay with her since they have been 10 days with you. I had a co-nesting situation in which one goose kept adding to the nest the other was on and when the first ones hatched everyone took off and followed them. I ended up hatching 5...

    Goose with duck eggs?

    The goose will be fine raising ducklings, just don't mix breed of hatchlings. My goose (actually the one in my photo) was trying to go broody her first year last year and I kept collecting her eggs. She ended up sitting on a duck nest the same day the mama duck got killed by a predator. I was...

    Recommended incubator

    I have a three Brinsea incubators that work well. The Octagon 20 is nice but discontinued. The Maxi II Eco manual works on goose eggs but only 7 (8 maybe if the are not huge) and doesn't have a turner, its more economical for a Brinsea. The Ovation 28 is nice but you have to spend more for...

    4-H Club looking for help on hatching Sebastopol goose eggs naturally

    If they have vaccinations for geese, I don't know of it. Maybe some others are more knowledgeable. I know some people treat them for worms, but not as babies.

    Names for me might depend on breed or color. Mine are all Sebastopol. Currently we bought a trio Elvis, Priscilla, and Lucy. My first pair were Timothy and Ivy. We have a Buff named Ginger. Willow and Roman are all white and Griffon is the fierce alpha male from about 3 weeks old he was the...

    4-H Club looking for help on hatching Sebastopol goose eggs naturally

    Mama goose and the rest of the goose family can be great. If the younger female is setting when the first goslings hatch be careful she doesn't decide to follow them and leave her eggs. I had this happen when females shared a nest! Ganders will be very protective and hands on. When we brood...

    4-H Club looking for help on hatching Sebastopol goose eggs naturally

    Wondering how it's going now? Did she start setting yet. I have a hard time preventing mine from setting. I have one female that started setting and my husband doesn't like to push his luck (makes me confront the hissing geese!). She has a buddy that likes to sit with her. I checked and...

    Topic of the Week - Raising and caring for goslings

    Nutritional yeast can be found in the US in organic and natural food stores. Vegetarians and vegans often add it to their food to get a more cheese like flavor and add vitamin B3 (niacin). In Britain, Vegemite and Marmite are human foods that are brewers yeast extract. In pet stores Brewer's...

    The 9th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong!

    I just put Sebastopol goose eggs in the incubator 4 days ago and tonight! Once I separate out my call ducks I can get started with them. I am sure I can start more eggs for Easter, so I am in. Yeah! Spring is coming! :wee

    4-H Club looking for help on hatching Sebastopol goose eggs naturally

    Not really sure but my gut reaction is more often the better. However, when your trying to separate ducks and other poultry into breeding groups I've read wait 2 weeks or more to be sure they weren't fertilized from a prior partner. So my guess is that sperm can last a few days at least, it...

    4-H Club looking for help on hatching Sebastopol goose eggs naturally

    Geese lay every 36-48 hours so every other day is typical for me. 55 or 63 degrees are both good holding temps. After 10 days viability starts dropping but I have read studies where 20% of goose eggs 24 days old still hatched so just keep collecting till she sets. I would say collect and...

    Where are you located? So people can point you in the right direction. I have the best luck on local poultry groups on Facebook. Geese are seasonal layers, but two of my silly Sebastopols just started laying now the beginning of November in Washington state!

    Does he stand a chance?

    So sorry he passed. This is a learning curve. I don't have of experience with chickens, but have hatched a few ducklings and goslings and unfortunately have assisted hatch on most because I am having humidity issues. Here's my experience on assisting. Yours will be different because it was...
