Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

Ok so i just googled it and found lumens. Says each torch has a different lumens value, the more the value the more powerful the torch. Any idea what id be looking for?
 
Check out this cool chart. Had no idea there was so many colour variations you could breed for.

Hi so got some good news and some bad again one of the goslings died don't no how but it was fine the day before then went to check on them that night and he was dead in the nest box so yeah down no how couldn't feel any breaks so could've just been a freak accident. Anyway no more bad news the little gosling that had that swollen foot is fine now he is strong and walking so all good. Another thing is that one of my friends want a pair of geese for next year so I am giving the radar and bear so then I will have clare flapper and Mr Hiss so yeah will be able to keep some of the goslings from this years hatch yayaayyay so happy but sad at the same time can watch them grow all over again so yeah but also sad that I have to get rid of radar because he is far to aggressive towards my chickens and Hiss doesn't care as long as they don't get near the goslings he is in a good mood. So will keep updated but here are some pics of the older gosling with the younger goslings in the backyard with the geese.But you can tell the difference between a 2 week old gosling and 3 day old So on day 9 swell for my little silver lace wyandotte hen and have candled all of the eggs yay candled for the first time and for what I can see all are alive all were moving inside of the eggs and lot of veins so excited she is going to be such a good mum. But I am hoping for another broody to hurry up because I have 8 orpington eggs and 4 plymouth eggs that I need to hatch so fingers cross but maggie my older sussex silkie mix is showing signs as she was in the nest box all day yesterday and same for the day before so fingers crossed I guess
Your geese are stunning. Sorry for your loss though. Shame geese and I don't get on as I would love to have some. I had a pair years ago and they attacked me constantly. I gave them to my neighbour who still has them some 6 years later but if I go into her pen they will still try to to attack me to this day. They leave her alone. I am on day 10 of my Belgian/marans hatch. Hopefully some nice pics coming up soon from all the hatches about to happen.

Some dark shelled eggs are more difficult to candle , you need one of those small bright lumen torches and the dunny roll helps to concentrate the beam whilst making handling the egg easier. :)

I found with my marans that they were too dark for any Candler I could find so I ordered one from titan in England, think chookpatch recommended it to me. It was quite expensive but worth every cent to me as I can see clearly into any egg now.
 
Goooood morning .. TGIF!!!

Hey locknest4 yep, I have seen the foreign language spamming and the moderators are all over it. Sadly, it keeps coming back and they have to continue to block it.

Anniebee I have had two ‘fart’ eggs in the 2.5 years I have had chickens [in both pics they are next to a bantam egg as I didn't have a LF egg on hand]:






Fancy that picture is beautiful!
