Day 9 for my eggs. I'm down to 7. Two weren't fertile, then one quit. The 7 left have really nice spiders in them. Hopefully they make it through and I have a bunch of little goslings with Afros.

Serv, It's a sad story. I have only gotten one egg from my whites so far as I have a skunk beating me to the nest every day. We finally set up the trap tonight to try to catch the nasty bugger. I was planning to set eggs tomorrow night, but so far I only have the one white egg and 3 buff dewlap eggs set aside. Already planning to push back setting eggs to Friday, but looks like I will be doing a 2nd setting after I trap the skunk and can gather a at least a half dozen white eggs.

Finding out later today how many of my 9 are good.
I'm going to miss little afro goslings I always knew who the parents were :,)
I know who the parents are with mine. Not hard when one female has been getting Shunned, so none from her, it was her eggs that weren't fertile. I should have known since she's been off by herself for awhile. The other two girls have broke off into 2 separate pairs with their own ganders. Stormy is with the White Chinese and Ethel has taken the TuftedxChinese gander. So there will be 3/4 Chinese 1/4 tuft and 3/4 tuft 1/4 Chinese. Should be very interesting at hatch time.
So.... why did she cross the road?
Well once she was across the road and inside the gate the rooster came out from the trees and mated with her
Naughty chicken
