some updates! Look at that beautiful booty! Also velociraptor teeth…

Gos number 5! Never thought I’d go on a staggered geese hatching adventure this year 😂 I tried having it hatch under the broody, but the moment she heard it peep and move under her she started attacking it. She’s definitely better at sitting than she is at motherhood.

Last egg pipped! After being bullied for a day these two are finally getting along Oh my…

A friend took the younger two goslings and my oldest was bullying the newly hatched… she’s now in with the banty chicks. Older gosling seem to prefer the company of my older chicks 😆

the size difference, oh my. 2 weeks vs 1 day old the oldest is almost the size of my bantam…

I must credit at least half the incubation to mother goose, 40% to my broody hen and 10% to my crockpot incubator 😂 Its such an ugly ugly darling 😂

barely slept last night! it hatched around 4am :wee Meet Denty!

There was no external pip this morning but chick was actively chirping. When candling, it looked like the space in the aircell had greatly diminished and so decided to intervene. I’m glad that I did because it looked like it had squished itself up against the shell and didn’t have room to...

Beak seemed to be right next to the waxed crack so I made a tiny safety hole…

So I have two more eggs. Somehow they were salvaged from my friend’s other broody goose (who gave up sitting recently). Her 2 year old who was very helpful washed the two eggs in a puddle and dropped this one in the process :he Luckily the majority of the crack was in the aircell and didn’t...

Photos of the last little wrinkly. Has a bit of a honk in its peep, hopefully not some underlying health issue.

oh yeah, I'm totally not complaining, haha. Thank you for all the help and assurance, this has been an awesome experience :love

I’m not really sure why they are hatching so quickly after the external pip? Egg three was starting to zip when its foot flopped out and seemed to have gotten in the way of turning so I made the call to assist. the gosling may not actually have needed help, but since it was actively pushing...

This one is born with quite a bit of…. chin?

Just an update on the status of the little one. he only seems to want to eat greens… it seems to be written in its genes. When I put him on grass for the first time, he immediately went to nom on grass blades and clover. Of course he’s too weak to break off a piece and honestly reminds me of my...
