Happy new year! See you on the 2020 hatch along thread!

It seems like I usually have one or two girls lay in the fall, and then a few that like to start super early in the spring, then some that only lay in May/June. My group does not like to follow the established rules for breeding/laying. Luckily I have only seen the one egg at my place, which...

Serv -- did you find any eggs? One of my geese surprised me a couple of days ago with an egg. I'm not sure who laid it, but my grey dewlap ganders are acting like it is breeding season. Winter is only getting started here. They need to cut it out!

Serv, glad to see you are still going strong with your breeding goals. Can't wait to see pics of your next set of babies. :)

Very cool, Serv. Will that pairing throw any buff babies? In toulouse land, a grey male with buff female only throws grey babies, but the boys will have the buff gene.

There are lots of species that I love but do not have at my place. If I were looking for predator protection, I'd probably lean more toward mini donkeys or alpacas. Both of those are super adorable.

Beautiful birds, thanks to your solid breeding program! I noticed the same exact thing with my dewlaps. Most of the eggs/babies I originally got lacked early development, but as I mixed the most well-developed grey birds with the buffs, each year my goslings develop faster and are overall much...

Serv, glad you fared well with the storm! I wouldn't be terribly surprised if your 3yo laid eggs, but I think 5 months is too young. Winter came super early at our place, with our 2nd major snow storm in the last 10 days. No signs of breeding at all around here. That probably means we'll...

Best of luck, Serv! Hope the storm doesn't cause too much of a mess.

Thanks for posting the pics. Your flock is lovely. :)

It could happen, Serv. My fingers are crossed for you!

Fingers crossed for eggs and buff goslings! I have gotten both of those are weirder times of year than mid-summer. Thankfully, my hatching year is done with 4 buff dewlaps, 1 brown african female, and 2 surprise bonus grey dewlaps, bringing my goose flock total to 35. That's a lot!

Your emus are adorable. Hope you enjoy them! And I hope you catch the predator soon!!

Great pictures! Your flock is beautiful!

Adorable goslings!

Last month, I set two sets of eggs in my bator 5 days apart. My bator had a temp swing and killed all but one egg from 2nd set in the first week. I forgot about the solo egg after my trio hatched over the weekend. Yesterday, I heard a peep from my bator and much to my surprise the solo egg...

Must be hatching time at our place. Have at least one new baby under my first broody goose, and another broody seems to be hatching babies this morning, too. Should be a fun week!

Three precious buff dewlap babies hatched late last night. :yesss::love

So far, everything going smoothly during lockdown. Multiple internal pips and even got my first external pip this morning. Should have babies tomorrow. :)
