There is one or two that the air cell has dipped in. The others are dark but without the dipping in the air cell. I threw one that was VERY sloshy and another had cracked down the sides. I was excited that it was hatching, even though it was not a pip or a zip (it cracked down the sides instead...
How do I know if what is in the eggs is still alive, or if it isn't just a dark blob of bacteria? I still have no hatching eggs from the ones I was able to save. I'm coming to he conclusion that None of them are good and need to be disposed of. :(
On another note - will m geese breed more...
This is one that when I candled it its clear. But I don't think they should be clear at this point. So I'm assuming it would be safe to discard this one? Or should I incubate it?
this clear one has this spot on the inside... I have no idea what that is
then theres this dark one. I...
It was a sad day. And a disgusting one. Good news was momma goose was still healthy and VERY feisty. She lost some weight, but still looks good. Once I got her off the nest (it was a battle.) she took of and walked around just fine. I put her into a different cage and she jumped right into the...
I was going to sell the goslings, as long as I didn't become too attached to any. I hate the idea of distressing her. She's been such a good goose and to be honest one of my favorites. Minus maybe eating the eggs she has been wonderful at caring for her nest. And before I separated her from the...
I have two ganders and 5 females. I had to separate the ganders early in the season because they started to fight like crazy. And the not dominant gander had a female that paired up with him and didn't want the other. So they were easy to separate off. And then after awhile the second gander...
All but one of the nests are in a pen. One of them is in the pen where I usually brood goslings, but I started incubating the eggs under the lights in there and then the momma took over the nest and won't let me have it back. The other two are in two separate cages. I have one nest that is...
Shes been sitting for close to a month now. They should be starting to hatch if the first , or oldest ones are going to hatch at all. I've been itching to candle the eggs under her but I'd hate to distress her so she abandons her nest or smashes the eggs trying to get at me. So I've just been...
One of my geese is sitting on a nest full of eggs. I'm a little worried about her because she never gets off of it, or I never see her get off of it. She has pushed two eggs out of the nest and so I left them (I was worried they may have just rolled out) for a few days and when she never put...
