four of the eight eggs have pipped...we had two power outages where the temps dropped significantly and before that, the dogs were playing near the 'bator and pulled the plug...it was out for about five hours and the temp was in the 60's when I discoverd it and plugged her back up...I was sure my goslings were dead, but this morning, after giving them an extra day prior to giving up, I was standing at the sink and heard some weird noise...could not locate the source but took the flashlight and checked on the eggs...four pips and now cheaping...who wudda thunk? I am so thrilled...I hope they make it out by morning...I am biting my knuckles to keep from the serious temptation to open the 'bator and check on the quiet eggs...
I have saved goose eggs this week to attempt another hatch if this one ended badly...I am getting lots of eggs...I have to say, Herb the Pom gander is such a dolt...my other ganders are mating with the girls but Herb? All I see is a goose head sticking out from under his butt and her butt in his face...I need to buy him a book or something...
