Are your Chinese sick? Chinese geese are the most fertile goose breed there is
How many Sebbies are you planning on hatching?
Goodluck at the show!

I think they are related... No biggy I eat and sell the eggs,and I was hoping to get atleast another female but I will set all of her eggs..

Oh ok that's understandable.
Usually inbred geese don't survive after hatch which is natures way.
But some do survive but are deformed some how.
Goodluck!

I wonder who will get goslings first this year

 

[Carrosaur]

I think that's false about inbred geese not surviving. It usually takes a few generations for problems to actually show up in birds. Even longer in cats and dogs!

When do you get your white Chinese Serv?

Sorry i wasn't clear at all, your're right it takes a few generations.
Geese that are brother and sister and mate with each other won't have deformed goslings but will have goslings that will get sick faster then others as i experienced.
If the second batch of brother and sisters mate those goslings won't hatch properly and will be deformed.
i don't think it's possible for the 3rd batch of brother and sister goslings to even mate? if they can and produce fertile offspring then i don't even want to see what the goslings turn out to look like :S

Still looking for chinese females but i only keep seeing males but spring is close so i have to see some for sale soon!

I gave up trying to hatch my chinese eggs they pip but never absorb the yolk so i sell eggs instead

Why not let the female sit on the eggs? They are either excellent or either very bad at brooding so if you have a excellent brooder you can have goslings
