:frow The little one is doing is great thank you :) Got a nice scab on its navel which I'm not interfering with and it's eating and drinking great. Still small compared to the others but doing ok with them. I took them back to the farm today, going to miss them but not their mess! They have...

Hatch is over, phew! 5/6 from lockdown have hatched. #6 was dead in shell and never internally pipped. The Fluffy 5! They are extremely busy making a filthy mess of the brooder! The malpositioned one is much smaller than the others (the one sat down) but seems to be doing ok for now. Still...

There really is something about soft feathers :love It's the fact it's pipped at the wrong end straight into a fully functioning vascular system that is bothering me :( I quickly got some paper towel on it to stop the bleeding and I'm keeping my fingers crossed it does not start pushing or...

Wow your geese are really going for it on the eggs front :eek: That's an awful lot of eggs! Good luck with the daily collecting of them, I'd be worried of collecting on a night even! Adult geese still spook me! This is being such a strange hatch :( Number 5 has finally done its external pip...

I've got three goslings hatched now but I've had to finish the zip for the last two as they just could not get through the shell and got stuck zipping :( To be quite honest this hatch of goslings is driving me mad as I don't like interfering and opening the incubator all the time. I've had to...

So I have 4 external pips now. 3 are all good and the first 2 are making progress the 3 a little behind. Now the fourth has externally pipped in the last 2 hours and is malpositioned, ugh! @Miss Lydia I proceed with this just as a malpositioned chicken as in the fact this will take longer...

I just checked the eggs and I have 2 external pips! :eek:

Day 26 today! 6 eggs are in lockdown :clap They all looked good when candled last night so I'm hoping for a good/stressfree hatch like last time. I do hope I will be lucky again :fl I popped up to the farm to see the 2 from the last hatch and boy have they grown! They are looking really good...

How are they doing? Growing fast I would imagine?

Congratulations, how cute! :clap I only had 2 hatch and they were in pretty quick succession. Once they looked pretty dry I moved them to the brooder so about 8 hours. Your gosling should be good to stay in there for a day or so though as they live off the yolk sac absorbed prior to hatch.

Congratulations on the pips :clap Good luck with the waiting! Hope you have a great hatch and are able to post some pics :pop

Day 8 update! I couldn't wait to candle on day 10 so did them tonight :D 6/9 are looking good :clap 2 look clear and 1 has a blood ring but over all I'm pretty pleased with the 6.

I too am jealous of his grass! He has them in a large orchard type area next to the farm house, he is wanting more birds as the three he has now are not really keeping on top of it. Wish I had that problem! I'm not an adult goose fan (scare me) but these three were actually ok :D Hissed a bit...

They are in and cooking away :pop

The goslings have gone back to the farm :( Very hard walking away from them but I know he will look after them and he's pleased as punch to have them. I finally got to see the parents :bow He's got a Tolouse female, Embden female and a Embden gander. He thinks only the Tolouse has been...

Mmmmm... these I have here are certainly more yellow than the Tolouse pic you have posted. I don't think he knows himself what he has :/ I'm taking these two back to him tomorrow or Sunday so will have a look at the parent birds. He's said both Tolouse and Embden so we shall see for sure. It's...

First field trip today and they thoroughly enjoyed it :love Do you still think Tolouse @Miss Lydia?

Thank you :D Here is the yeast ~ I'm over in the UK though so Amazon is slightly different for me.

Yes just like grandchildren! :gig Had to fish them out from under the heat plate for pics ~

I'm afraid I'm not keeping them :( I just don't have the room right now and to be quite honest adult geese scare me to death! I'm keeping them for a few days until he is set up with his brooder etc. I am just a surrogate incubator :lol: Suits me as I get my hatching fix :hide They are looking...
