GOOSE BREEDING THREAD - for breeding, incubating, hatching and rearing.

[subhanalah]

i have got 0 goose eggs still with my 4 mixed geese i m now thinking of getting me a pair of baby geese and wait until this year is over with then wait for geese from my geese if i get no egg they are out of here if they do lay eggs i ll still have the pair of baby geese for breeding next year 

geese typically don't have great fertility in their first breeding season. Unfortunately, we have to be EXTRA patient with them with a lot of time invested.

Today is egg laying day for my dewlap girls and I got up early to spy. At first, Shimmer (the grey I thought was laying soft shelled eggs) was on the nest doing her thing, with her best girlfriend, Slate, watching over her. When she was done, Ginger (my buff girl) attempted to go into nest to lay, but Shimmer and Slate bullied her out. Ginger tried over and over to go into box, but the grey girls attacked her. So, I grabbed Slate & Shimmer's eggs (both hard shelled) and relocated Ginger's abandoned nest near the main box. Ginger tested it out, but returned to the main box. It appears that Shimmer/Slate have finally conceded letting Ginger stay there.

In the meantime, I freed our blue duck from our garage. She promptly went into dewlap yard and cruised around, including going over to box, but the greys chased her away with no problem.

I would not be surprised if Ginger's egg is soft shelled, given how badly Shimmer/Slate treated her, but

Ginger's egg is normal.

pure Embdens are color sexed as babies with the females being darker then the males. But by a month it's hard to tell.

Maybe someone just needed a reboot

Well, I just grabbed Ginger's egg and it too is perfectly normal.

Maybe the blue duck really did upset Shimmer when laying.

That's great news J!
Maybe next year I can get some of your toulouse eggs, since it seems this year my incubator is full and they probably won't be laying when it's empty!
Is there anyone else that sells toulouse eggs?

Thanks. I hope it will be smooth sailing from here. My girls are reaching the halfway point in season, so I expect they will be done by beginning of May. I had to close my byc listing to make sure I can supply the orders I already have (plus a few in reserve in case anyone receives a bad shipment of eggs from me). I hope to have even more hatching eggs available next year as I have two yearling girls that I'm excited to add to my breeding group.
