   are they good to eat or gross? 

first year with geese, don't have a clue

  ummmm did you request how you wanted them collected and shipped?  no? oh the shameeeeee    seriously I am sorry but you gotta ask if they wont do it as you request then dont buy the eggs, simple nuff!     I was going to purchase icelandic eggs from someone a state up and they wouldnt send upright yet alone double boxed, so said sorry no deal. 

No.........

I thought about it, but then I saw that they had good review, and I didn't want to cause them too much trouble. Next time I know though.

I guess it's my turn for the "walk of shame"

Then I'm catching the soonest flight to Minnesota possible!

Congratulations!



Awesome!

Don't eat my chocolate bar! 
Oh, sorry that happened.

That stinks, hopefully you'll find a new place to go for new memories.

Congrats, hope the last two start laying soon.

Yes, it is a chronic degenerative arthritic condition.

Would it be better for you to butcher him? Then you could choose your time and would not be selling him for a poor price.

I already took him. I don't think I could eat him, and as a dairy goat, there is not enough meat to pay for processing. This way I get some money for the new guy that was born today. I posted his picture earlier.

I hate waiting for first candling.

Ordered some silkie eggs off ebay...... not a good choice.

SO sorry. But don't give up - you may be able to get some to hatch. Wash the yolk from the uncracked ones by following the "washing eggs" instructions very carefully (from the links at the beginning of the thread - bleach solution at the right temperature), then let them rest with big end upright for a day, then incubate upright with gentle turning - see the notes for shipped eggs and funky air cells.

I got this:








And got 7 healthy live chicks out of it (with help from this thread).
