LOL I know! Butters is just too cool...and he's a HUGE cat, too!
Thanks! I think the geeses are pretty cute, too! I can't believe how BIG they are getting!
Okay--here are (lots) of updated pics!
Last month:
Here they are with the Buffs:

Yesterday!
They do NOT like Butters! LOL
Not an African but a funny pic, nonetheless because she wouldn't leave me alone!
Oh and in case you were wondering--the...

They are both 1/2 out...I helped a little bit. The humidity dropped again to 52%. They are a little cuter than the Africans...I'll get some pics once they are out. I don't want to open the incubator too much more because I have Muscovies ready to go, next.

Any progress?
Nope. I managed to raise the humidity up though...and now I'm just...

I have 7 solid black Muscovies in there that should start pipping today or tomorrow...and the two buff goose eggs which were making noise last night but this morning, nothing. Oh and I have 14 white call duck eggs in there as well...they are two different shipments.
Don't give up...

Thanks! I'm very happy! I have tried for a few years to hatch them out without any success (last year, fertility was an issue) and the year before that--they formed and died in the shell. Wouldn't you know that this year--all four eggs were shipped from Colorado (one candled clear at 9...
