2018 Hatchalong

What dolls.

I've come to the conclusion that other than color, goslings all look alike to me haha.

I have no eye either!

It's looking like the other two of mine might also be buff colored. Call me 100% lost haha.

1 hatched and is drying. The other is out but has to push itself away from the shell. Then I'll move it to the dry off spot.

Had to cull the 3rd. Such a shame.....

But the other 2 are doing fantastic. Happy, healthy, insanely mischievous babies.

Oh no what happened?

After 2 days of just laying on its side with its eyes closed, hardly moving, it started gasping for breath and liquid was coming out of its nostrils. Part of me had been hoping it was just more tired after hatching than the other two had been (I has it separate so it wouldn't be stepped on), but I figured there was something wrong with it. I tried to give it a chance, but I decided it was best to put the poor thing out of its misery.

Poor little bugger. All you can do is give them a chance. You tried!

For sure.

I feel like the older of the remaining two is a boy. It's just so noisy and silly compared to the other one haha.

Congrats on the babies! Buff is my favorite colour on a goose!
