Date sort Score sort
Candled the last two goose eggs. Didn't see any movement. Didn't have a good year with goose eggs. Dad tried two batches and none hatched for him. I cooked mine. The goose hatched 8 out of 13. I had a goose die and sold the Chinese. Hopefully next year will be better. I just candled my Slackwater farms shipped eggs And have mixed results. 6 for sure (well almost sure) have nothing. Another 2 are questionable. Them I have a couple saddle eggs. So right now I have 10 or so questionable but the good news is I have 19 that look pretty good. A 50% hatch would be awesome.
 
Maybe I'll go out and see just how many chicks I actually have. Be right back. Meanwhile I added some more GLW's today. Enjoy

droolin.gif
!! and is curious about geese now

oz - did you do your homework..and mrs sally ... it really is a good movie but i bet oz did chicken research instead lol
oz's fav 80s movie is ferris bueller's day off

confused turtle ty for your sympathy.. and everyone else too .. it was a tragic accident

chicksooner ..who doesn't love 80s movies lol
sally is a goonies fan too ..whatta ya know ?!?

and it is interesting how many of us seem to have so little time for tv ...
guess chicken tv holds our attention more often hee hee

galgo98 you are welcome to drop in anytime !! corey haim fan or no lol oohh broody Sebbie - is she sitting on babies too ?

sally has 2 days of hatching going on - what a surprise !!

wax myrtle you to are always welcome - hows the pippers going?
and watch out for sally with the ball and chain lol
and what do you know ?!? wax is a Takei (SULU for those who don't know) fan !!
(and sally apparently is not ...)
and has a duckling hatched and drying !!

rennerae shared another cute picture with us (post 14231)

sally shared her hatchlings with us ..except the buttons hope they hatch for her !!! ... oh and was so busted about the turkeys by DH lol (post 14234)

and she asked advice on the best way to blow out eggs (wax uses a 20cc 16ga needle from tsc and drills the hole with a diamond dust cone bit ... for those who are curious)
doug still has those pretty goslings going - and what do you know the thing on their head is hard... for those who are curious and want to know ..did the other two hatch yet ?!?
and he is having some wacko weather going on there in AR

sally was wondering about medicated chick feed for the baby turkeys...most agreed it was at least safe short term anyway

i do believe toast n jelly wants some eggs from prnzsbuttrcluck...
and she is willing to slip them across the border and sit on the bench with the rest of the hardened criminals lol

gardeningmama's fav movies are The Breakfast CLub (another awesome one) and St. Elmo's Fire
the humidity was all better when she got up but it took 5 containers and 2 rags
and she is officially a worry wart !!!
(and yes i think we all have bird regret days)
she set april 12th and says phewie on her bator !!

TweetyNPetey - how long til that duck hatch ? can't wait to see pics !!
(and i would but the bird eggs in my bator too just to see what happens if the momma doesn't show back up - although from experience baby "wild" birds are not the easiest to raise)
and is in the midst of writing papers on horses and chicken diseases



sally boosted our spirits a bit with her cheering squad !! and shared more baby chick pics (post 14267)

tony agreed with renne that chicks like to share their poop lol and FINALLY got his dellies ( cute little buggars too !! pics on post 14276 - the green dots indicate breeding pens for those who noticed them )
he also picked up some ACV(apple cider vinegar) to try FF again
and is thinking he might have a hen with a broken toe
and he is up to about 70 chickens now plus 12 in the bator that he will let us know on tommorows candle for day 7

my4ladies stopped by she was our day 11 water air cell lady (feel free to stop by and offer her ddvice - original post is 14295)

back to doug he has hatches coming on the 7th,11th,13th,14th,16th, and 19th. some of those are in his new soda pop bator and i am sure we are all interested to see how those turn out !! on no soda bator is broken (like flo-bot)

gardening momma shared pic of her early hatcher- day 18 before lock down !! (post 14300)

cochins got her chicks today and is in love !! and promised us pictures (hopefully i find them as i catch up !! and a picture updated on cute little gos too we hope! )

there was an interesting discussion over several pages about medicated vs. nonmedicated food and about cocci .. tony is researching on this some for everyone

doug learned he can breed glw's to glw's to get glws
and he lost his garden from the last cold spell
tony's garden however seems to be doing ok
and chicksooner is working on a garden too - come snow or sun

toast n jelly suggested a stay home to prevent arrest lol

rbaker admired oz's beautiful family !! and suggested not giving antis every day

gardening mom has a chick !!

sally was heading to bator watch but is prob already back as i am typing this .. or gone to bed lol

motorcyclechick is getting hatching nerves (hang in there !! )


confused turtle suggested guinness black label as an alternative wormer .. interesting (ill be googling later!! )
oz says probably not though

bush is worried about her day 6 eggs and is gonna candle again tonight and give us an update (general consensus is they are probably ok)

sally has ancona's already wanting to hatch and still waiting on those buttons !!
