Goose Eggs set 3/14/21

[BirdsBeesTrees]

I've hatched hundreds (probably into the thousands ) of hatching eggs, but this is the first time trying to hatch my American Buff Goose eggs. Today is the start day of 9 eggs in the incubator!

Lol, not much happening in there yet but here they are sitting in the incubator.

Also a picture of the parents: American Buffs. I took this picture last summer. Romeo is the butt head in the front and his girls: Juliet, Ivy, and Nibbles.

Today is day 5. I took out one quitter and three infertile eggs.
I have 5 viable eggs! I will set more on Sunday.
Here's 3 of the 5.

So fun! I love geese. My Brecon Buff goose began laying for the first time this year. I was really entertaining the idea of letting her sit on them, assuming some were fertile, but she is not broody one bit! She lays and will not return to her nest until it is time to lay again. She's even switched nesting spots. So it worked out nicely and I didn't feel guilty about snatching her eggs for breakfast when the gander wasn't around to fight. since she began laying she's given me 11 eggs.

Good luck!

Ooo I thought of something. You should take some more cute pictures of them and submit them in the current byc contest!
