Glad to see peeps in the other hemisphere hatching while we enjoy seeing our spring/summer goslings develop into beautiful juveniles.

Here's my youngest buff girl (hatched June 30th), already looking grown up....

2 months old and gorgeous

Is there a record for the smallest goose egg?

I found this one today in my goose pen (alongside the other goose egg). I have a stock standard chicken egg between them.It weighs 26g.

Ive found eggs like that from my chickens, none from my geese yet. Its usually just the yellow part of yolk with very little of the whites.

I haven't cracked it open yet. When I get chicken eggs like that it is usually the opposite - all white with no yolk. Now I'm really curious to see what's in it.

Southern hemisphere folks: I have a question for you.

My duck and goose babies go crazy sometimes in their brooder tub (often when the food dish is descending on their location) and run around in circles. My husband calls it "tuna-ing" because the movement quite reminiscent of a school of fish. However, I have noticed that they only go clockwise when they do so. When your babies go crazy and run in circles do they also go clockwise? Or is it counter-clockwise? Or is it not always the same direction?

It's one of those nagging questions that comes up every now and then.

Thanks!

Daisy
