I've pretty much hit the wall with birds, now having chickens, ducks, turkeys, and quail.
But, I do want to try some geese next spring. And, since it's basically Thanksgiving already, it occurred to me that, in this context, "spring" probably means ordering eggs for late March shipment, which is only 4 months away. And, 4 months goes fast.
So:
1) Does that sound like the correct timing -- shipment in late March for hatching in early May? They take 30-34 days, depending upon breed/species, from what I've read.
2) Can anyone recommend some good sources for hatching eggs?
3) Are they "particularly difficult" to incubate as I have read on some sites?
