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

[livininbrazil]

Oh come on, Australia is uniformly a desert with no humidity and any number of beasts, weather, insects and arachnids that just want to kill you. Weather conditions are the least of the worries.


(I'm totally kidding but I couldn't resist, sorry)

Glad to know you´re kidding. The things I read about on here tell me that the States has a few beasties to be concerned about, too.

Here we are...one in the States, one in Brazil, one in Australia..three huge countries that have varying degrees of weather conditions to cope with for our poultry. Not an easy one for us to have the perfect answer for incubating eggs....

Wait, hang on. Isn't Brazil just humidity, beaches and thongs?


(again, kidding, I clearly can't help being a jerk)

But seriously, we do have an amazingly wide range, regionally, of people on this thread! It does make helpful answers difficult!

Well, Jerk, we certainly get lots of thongs on the beaches, but not the sort you´re meaning!

Or maybe it is!

A friend of mine was talking about her chinelos, which in england we call flip-flops, but she was speaking in English, and had learned the word thongs. Well, in England is thong is a very tiny thin piece of underwear...I was in stitches. I love the diversity of the language, even here on the threads it´s interesting. Sometimes I have to think if what I write will be understood. and there are folks on here that live in so many other countries too, it´s great!
And we live a long way from the Amazon and Pantanal, so humidity where I live here is less than England, so the heat isn´t as oppressive. We can stay outside working in 36º, whereas people can´t cope with 30º in england.

Oh no, while not English I totally mean the really thin piece of underwear

because I was totally being a jerk! And thanks for playing along!

Reading a lot of your posts, you don't need to worry at all about being understood. My Portuguese is... nonexistent. I actually don't know any. So you're many steps up on me! And honestly by your posts I wasn't sure which was your native language - English or Portuguese or something else.

But the Celsius temperatures throw me because I live in the US and that stuff is just so completely foreign. But looking it up - 36C(97F) is OK for you?! Oh my G I'm clearly less tolerant than England. 23C is about my top range of comfort - and even then I'm sort of uncomfortable.

Sorry, but I just got an image of my chubby little hens in thongs....give me a moment to pick myself up off the floor.

As long as you give me a minute to clear my sinuses from the soda I was drinking, darn you! Also, wiping up the keyboard.

Man that IS an image, isn't it!

If you wouldn't cope with the 36C then you don't want to visit me in summer - my average temp is usually 41/42C with days upto 49C and a couple of the places I've worked (all day outside) it regularly gets over 50C!

Thanks, everyone!!

I love my white Africans, too!

Serv, it is a purebred brown African that my white girls hatched. I have no idea who are the parents though, as I gathered up random eggs from property to make a nest for my white goose (who was laying soft eggs) to go broody on. The little one is surrounded by 7 adults who are working as a team to protect it, so it has been zooming around the property full of confidence since it was less than 24 hours old, which I thought was rather impressive.

Sorry for the cell phone picture. My hubby got pics yesterday on his camera that I have look through and load onto computer. When I get a chance, I'll post another clearer picture.
