Oops. That was supposed to say I won't be throwing out any others that don't have the embryos until day 10.


Oh yes. I checked around 10am avd there was nothing!! I usually check every turn...lol

The bright gosling is a male 100%

The other 4 are pied (they will have brown and white feathers as adults) so it's harder to say but when a brown goose and a white goose produce pied gosling's from my experience they all ended up female but there's still a chance of a male of course. What color are the parents?

I see a great variety in your gosling's!

The gosling behind the male is tufted meaning it will have a fluff of feathers on top of it's head when it's older

The Gander is white and the Geese are pied. Infact I have two with Tufts, their mother also has a tuft.

Day 5! Tomorrow I'll start the daily misting and cool downs.

I found a target in my breakfast! Saving goose eggs now.

If one of the parents is pied there is a bigger chance of getting a pied male but getting pied females is bigger!

Time will tell

Hatched two Sebestopols yesterday.

Got to go down and mist my duckie eggs. Waiting for a few more goose eggs to start in the other incubator. I doubt they'll have a very high fertility rate so I want as many in there as will fit. Got zero today but two of the geese were on their alfalfa bale and the other one and the gander were hissing enthusiastically at me when I came to shut the door this evening. I'll bet there are three in the morning. The Incuvue is supposed to hold seventeen. Not sure I'm buyin' that, but I guess I'll try...

17 goose eggs??? I've never tried. I guess it would depend on the size of the goose. I think 10 would be comfortable for hatching and turning properly in there though. I'll have to look at the picture I took with 9 eggs in my IncuView tomorrow.

I was planning on nine until I looked it up. (I have eight collected) but I guess seventeen would fit--three on each row with the eggs staggered from row to row and two in the back. As you say, a leetle tight! No way they're all gonna be fertile though, so it would only be for the first week. (Just watch them every one grow tiny 🕷 creatures inside, now I've said that.)

You should definitely share a picture once you have the bator packed. Lol
