Got my 4 golden eggs yesterday! We're very excited and looking forward to our first goose-hatching adventure...lol.


AWESOME packaging for the postal service! I was very pleased and appreciative with your attention and care to preserving the integrity of the eggs during shipping. Thank you so very much for your consistent and dependable communication and very prompt shipping!

I'll keep you posted on our progress

Kalli, I'm so glad you got them quickly and safely! Now Good Luck hatching and incubating! They are precious when they hatch!
Just this am- between 3 and 7 am, our 1st one appeared! All 3 of the 1st eggs were pipped last night,and the 2nd egg hatched 1st...
Look here to meet Baby Gaga (? no name yet...)



As the others progress and hatch, and dry off, I'll add other pics here and/or in the Sebbie threads (in the goose section.)
I have 6 more eggs (as of now) ready to ship any of these days this week if anyone is interested. Just Pm me or post here....
Thanks!

Awww!! Look at that baby's foot...lol. Now THAT is a foot! So sweet and little and new and innocent, such a joy to experience hatching eggs.

I think that's why so many of us (especially women) get more involved and committed to raising chickens/water fowl. Life is so precious and seeing the process of it all playing out is truly a fulfilling wonder.

I've given birth to 3 of my own babies, one of them still in diapers, but I still absolutely love being a Momma Hen and raising baby chicks. Personally, every time I see an egg hatch and raise a new baby, it's like the first time I ever saw it all over again no matter how many times I've actually done it.

I'm so stinkin' excited to do my golden geese though, because I've heard that geese imprint much more than chicks? We don't close on our ranch until early May and it will probably take a few weeks to make the move in its entirety, so they will be hatching where we are now which is a couple acres with no pond. But they will have 4 ponds to choose from when we move...lol.

I will have to figure out how to keep them until then, any tips much appreciated. My chick brooder is in the garage but my hubby will most likely be more than agreeable to keep our golden geese in the house until the move. That's what he called them when I first told him how much the eggs were...

Then I explained to him how much other people charged, plus minimum order amount of eggs, plus shipping, then I told him how much they cost on average as babies or adults, and he shut up.

I keep my babies in a huge horse trough in our basement (

) but then, we do live in an old farmhouse... I divide it with an adjustable window screen if I need to separate babies (ie. chicks and goslings.) So they stay there til they 1) outgrow it or 2) the weather is nice enough to go outside into my chicken tractor with a heat lamp, or an old shed with a heat lamp...an old rabbit hutch with a heat lamp...you get the idea. they don't go out in the adult pen for good til they're fully covered with baby feathers and the adults have met and played with/bonded with the babies during the day for quite awhile.

These babies will be sold though if the people who said they want to buy them meant it and still want them....I have to let them know they've hatched and see what the interest level is....
