hatching geese eggs
My babies are 2 weeks and 1 week old now. I've been keeping them in the house with me because the mom is sitting on a clutch of 5. I'll try to introduce these once the others hatch. I have a question though. Their poop has had a sort of moldy smell since they hatched. This morning, the 2 week... -

So I brought my goslings out to meet my 2 adult geese. The gander ran away from them! The goose sat on her nest and ignored them. Looks like I'm going to have to buy something bigger to put them in until the other eggs hatch and I can sneak them in. -

Thanks Pete. She came out once when I had the goslings in the yard. She hissed at me and tried to get through the fence to get to the babes. The male watches the goslings the whole time I'm in the yard with them. Is he guarding or will he hurt them? The eggs she's sitting on have about a week... -

My goslings are getting big and I really want to get them out of the house. Its getting harder to keep up with cleaning up after them. My goose is sitting on 5 eggs right now. Would it be safe to take her eggs for the incubator and place the goslings with her? Would she take the goslings now and... -

I opened the shell just enough to allow my Embden gosling to get its head out and it made it the rest of the way. The yolk was fully absorbed and it seems to be getting around even quicker than the other two did. I'm glad now that I helped. I really think it was stuck. I had upped the humidity... -

How do you know if a gosling is shrink wrapped? I had a baby pip over 36 hours ago. With no progress since, I shined a flashlight in the hole and could not see a beak, just a bit of body and not much movement for a while. I could see clear up into the air cell from the hole and no membrane in... -

I'm starting to think that the ones that didnt hatch heard all the screeching these two were doing and decided they'd rather stay in the egg because the world was just too awful. Sheesh! -

Out of 5 embden eggs I've had 3 quitters at the last stage. The air cells on all 3 were fine and there were no indications that there might be a problem. What kind of stuff could cause them to quit within a day or two of hatch date? I have 3 more to go within the next week, so I'd like to avoid... -

Quote: No, they are pretty curious and don't have any trouble finding food and water on their own. Since your's had a rough hatch you probably should give it some infant vitamins to give it a boost. Thanks -

are geese like turkeys? Do you have to show them how to eat? My little goose hatched yesterday afternoon and hasnt shown any interest in food or water. I wouldnt worry about it yet, but the yolk wasnt fully absorbed when she hatched. I'm not sure she got her full 2-3 days worth. I have grass... -

My Embden finally hatched, but it doesnt look like the yolk was absorbed all the way. Will it possibly absorb after hatch or is it not going to make it? -

Day 31 for my embden egg. If I candle it, the membrane is still intact and it kind of looks like shadows moving below the membrane. Everything below the membrane is dark. Wish I had a better candler Whats the longest you've ever had to wait for an embden egg to hatch? -

I'm going on lockdown Thursday also. I'm going a day early because all my chicken eggs that hatched Saturday morning were a day early. My goose eggs have been hand turned, end over end, 3 times a day. Candling seems to indicate everything is going okay. Maybe we can all compare results once...
