Nanna started hatchin at 3pm on Sunday. It will be 48 hours this afternoon.
The first hatched gosling is running all around. The others are all at different stages and slower. One is pecking through egg right now. She has 3 so far that I can tell.
At what point do they need water? I put a chick waterer near the nest but the runner doesn't seem to go near it - he pecks at the grass and runs down the hill/nest and back up again. He's crazy!
Sav-A-Chik was recommended to me to put in the water - 1 plk / gallon.
Should I put a shallow pan of water in there so when he runs in and out he will see it?
What about feed - I have some Mazzuri crumble starter for them - is now the time to put it in?
Nanna has to be dying of thirst - should I try to sneek her some food and water?? If she doesn't kill me.
