I'm wondering about the sex of my day old Sebbies...
I just hatched my first two Sebastopol goslings. I'm excited and think they are beautiful. I'm wondering if any of you with goose experience have any thoughts about what sex these two look like they might be. The mostly grey one is much smaller than the grey and yellow one. And the grey and... -
Can I raise my new peacock with chicks? Food Question?
I just hatched my first peacock this morning. Only one of the two peacock eggs made it so I will only have one peacock for at least a few weeks. I have 7 chickens that hatched earlier this week. Can I keep the baby peacock with the chicks? It seems like there are several different schools of... -
Is Anyone Selling Sebastopol Eggs?
Looking for eggs from colored Sebastopol geese. Does anyone have birds that are still laying? Thank you : ) -
angel wing or twisted wing tip?
I'm not sure if that is angel wing or not, but there are lots of very nice experienced folks on this site that will help you. I just taped the wings of two of my geese who had angel wings. The tape is really helping correct the problem. If it is angel wing, this video shows exactly how to... -
Geese with one drooping wing - Should I be worried?
We wrapped the wings of both geese. We had to take the wrap off of the goose on the left (Spence) early because he cut his leg and we needed to make sure he wasn't injured in any other way. But we left the wrap on the goose on the right (Kate) for a week and her wing is much better. We are... -
Geese with one drooping wing - Should I be worried?
Thank you all for your words of wisdom. We are going to tape the birds' wings asap. I will let you all know how it goes. Again, thank you. -
Geese with one drooping wing - Should I be worried?
I hatched the geese for a nearby farm. I'm not sure what they are feeding them right now. I'm reading articles on taping the wings for a few days to help correct the problem. What kind of tape do you use? Does it bother the birds? -
Geese with one drooping wing - Should I be worried?
I hatched two Chinese swan geese about 9 weeks ago. They've gotten their wing feathers. Both birds each have one droopy wing. I can't tell if the feathers are just heavy or if they are getting Angel Wing. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is there anything I can do to help? Any... -

Are You A Brinsea Owner? - April Hatch Along - Prize: Ecoglow Brooder!
Quote: Great! Now I have a question, did you use your auto turner or did you hand turn thru the incubation? If you used the auto turner, what angle setting did you use? I had turned the goose and duck eggs. I only use my auto turner for chickens.- ericay

Quote: Nicky - Do you believe that it's better for the eggs to be on their sides? I've hatched chickens pointy side down and they hatched pretty easily. But, I haven't tried it with geese or ducks. yes most waterfowl recomendations are for eggs to be on side and hand turned and odd number... -

Nicky - Will they fit on their end? Big end up. You could use the rails to hold them in place. I think you've got about 4 inches of clearance in there. BTW, Those eggs are much bigger than my Chinese Swan Goose eggs : ) -

hatching geese eggs
Hi, I'm just adding my two cents here about hatching goose eggs. I've only hatched two at a time so far. I'm on my third set of two right now. I turn them three times a day, but have never taken them out to cool and have never misted them. I have a Brinsea incubator and I asked them about... -
