    Hello again. Our gander is nearly 2 years old and has 2 almost 1 year old geese for girlfriends. One is smaller and he must favor her because she is missing a lot of feathers on her head. The other is a bit larger and he seems to have trouble finishing the deed with her just because of the size...

    Hatching eggs

    I’ve hatched 9 goose eggs and upon removing shells I’ve noticed a few have this green goo inside them. Any thoughts on what this is? Babes are all doing ok so far. Less than 24hrs old.

    Should I pull the egg???

    One Sebastopol gosling egg is VERY narrow. Its pointy end is pointy. Considering that the female is barely a year old, should I remove that egg??? I've never had to cull a chick and am concerned that the gosling that grows in the narrow shell might not develop properly. Does anyone have any...

    Idk Viable Goose Eggs?

    Hello. I discovered 6 abandoned wild geese eggs scattered around the nest. The parent birds are gone and there obviously was a battle with some sort of predator, feathers everywhere. Went back the next day and no signs of parents. Took back the 6 eggs, put them under a heat lamp. How do I go...

    Can I incorporate Geese into my small duck flock?

    I have 5 ducks. 4 welsh harlequins (one is male) and 1 silver appleyard. They’re 2 years old. I want to get two female goslings and introduce them to the ducks once they’re big enough but not too big. I also have a polish chicken who stays with the ducks, which might also be a problem. I keep my...

    Goose eggs

    I am getting a couple goose eggs, I have had zero luck hatching ducks with my incubator but great success with chickens. My question is should I incubate the goose eggs like a chicken in my incubator or would it be best to put them under my broody muscovy duck? My muscovy just went broody...

    How old till you can tell the sex of an African Goose

    I'm hatching African geese to show in August, age doesn't matter at the show but I need two of the opposite sex. What age is the best to tell what the difference is? Is it possible to confirm when they're this young?

    HELP: What should I do next???

    I think there isn't anything else I can do ??? This egg never lost the weight even though low humidity and daily cooling and spritzing. Honestly, didn't think it would make it this far. About 12 hours ago I noticed that it externally pipped, NOT in the air cell. (This egg with abnormally...

    Egg air cell not progressing???

    I have one goose egg at day 21 in the incubator that has not been losing the required weight. I have been dry incubating and it shows humidity at 25%, but the air cell is not growing the way it should. The little bird is very active in the shell and I figure the shell is just extraordinarily...
