Me too, Pete! BTW, your hatching guide is excellent, and I'm happy to report that I must share the link once a week still. THANK YOU so much for taking the time to create the guide to share with us all.

Gosh, I hadn't even though of the bonus of better fresher eggs yet! I guess I'll be hatching a passel. Althogh, I'd rather sell my eggs via ebay, so my DDs don't have too much competition locally for 4H. Wouldn't want too many buff dewlap toulouse or sebastopol, or white chinese...

Ah, it seems like only yesterday when we were weighing eggs, cooling eggs, chatting eggs, and even taking pics of eggs with lights behind them. Oh yeah, I'm not sharing the Africans. I love them. I'm gonna hatch some eggs for mom when they start laying this spring.

Hi Iain, yeah, they are great. I meant to take pics yesterday. I will try to remember to do it today.

Aww, I'm here looking back on the hatching of my flock......

BTW, the geese are lovely!!!!

Oh, getting ready to hatch some silkies are we? Take some pics of that egg fertiliation will ya? I need to blackmail the easter bunny for better chocolate.......

Mine love to talk to me, and fuss at me as it works out. Still, hatching goslings, while somewhat more challenging is its own special reward. I miss Luna so much (the hatch buddy Toulouse) because she was the last goosy that really cuddled me still. Of course by now Luna would be...

Those muddy feet babies hatched on May 8 or 9th I think. And yes, they have a pool back on the other side of the trees behind them. I came into the pen and called "goose goose goose" and they came running and flapping. Clearly some of them had been in the mud around the pool. Its a major...

copy in other threads.... Heres some pics of my sebbies, toulouses w/little sebbie, and some khaki campbells hanging with them still. These are the ones from the hatch around May 8, except the sebbie. She is a June baby.

Wow, they are huge! I'm always so surprised how big everyone is getting. I got more food today, and here (good, bad, or ugly) is how I'm currently mixing up duck and goose food (except the laying ducks, they just get hen layer mix and some scratch grains) Mazuri maint. (wow, the bag...

Celtic, plese tell me, with geese is their laying beginning time based on actual age, or springtime/light cycles for geese? I expect my ducks to lay by 6-7 monthes, if I have a light over them come fall and winter, without regard to actual springtime. If I didn't have a light, they'd wait for...

OK, Celtic, when you get on here at 6 am central time, text me to take the phone with me and get pics! Then, I'll get some. One of the grey/white sebs persists with a few brown feathers mixed in, and I'm still hoping they stay! I counted them, there are still two big curly ones nested in...

Wow, those are pretty geese. Yeah, I'm a little behind.

They are cute. Sooo, how do you use bills and feet to tell male from female in geese? I don't really want to vent sex so much, at this age I'm afraid I'd feel like a pedophile. (gooseophile?)

Hi everyone. Hows the babies? Loved the pics. thought I'd posted it, but apparently I typed and left the scene without submitting. (sorry) ATTENTION IAIN - here are a few pics! I got home from dinner, and dashed out dressed up in heels to snap these pics. They are so tame that they kept...

Glad the babies are doing well.

Whenever I go out back, its too water, and thus I never bring my phone since I don't want it to get wet. I do need to get pics though. Some of them are quite lovely. One white one has a feather so long its almost dragging he ground allready! They sebbies seem to like to pass thier days...

Hey Celtic, how are you doing today? I noticed that wing issue guy has worn his feathers on the wing off, and while he can't fold it up, it isn't dragging anymore either. (for now) I've been thinking about you today.

Check that their wing tips don't hang down, and that they appear bright eyed and healthy. Celtic will know loads more, and shes on most mornings quite early. There will probobly be something from her waiting to advise you.
