[8GeeseALaying]

The first one should be dry by in the morning so ill get pics soon after i move him/her out. There will be tons of pics im worse than a mother with a new baby when it comes to taking pics of my gossies lol
What kind of new Duckies?? I have a friend who told me that there were a pair of mallards dropped at her house so i might go get those tomorrow.

Hope it hatches quick for you. Crossing fingers that your others pip.
I have 3 more internal pips now that leaves one left to internally pip. I have two external pips hoping the others are pipped by tomorrow.
This first one is dark with light points as far as i can tell hes still wet, hes not a Halloween.

Yay! We both are getting babies!
I can see the gossie's bill now it is Dark but i dont think its as dark as a chinese and i can see dark down and yellow down. I will know when it comes out and has a tuft or not.
I also have two more external pips!

Aaw I'm excited and jealous! Lol

I can't wait for those pics *8*.....lavender....I don't have access to any. Look forward to watching them grow.
I am excited with my Sebbies....They LOVE playing in the water, and my Pilgrims were indifferent to it.

I candled today and I think at least two are soup and two look like they are developing fine. (ducklings)

Has anyone tried to candle an americana green egg and found NO light coming through? I have no CLUE if they are viable, soupy, rotten...and I don't want to float test them for obvious reasons.....

I will have to look back to see when my goose started to sit, I think it was 3 and half weeks...waiting....

Ok, if it takes 32 days, then May 12 should be my fuzz butt day.

Anyone know officially how long for a sebastopol gosling to hatch?

I crossbred to get this one. If it is lavender it is a goal i had that has been met. He/she is a Tufted Roman x Toulouse cross so he could dry out to be lavender, pied or gray.

Most geese are 30 days average, but the range can be 28-34 days

That is the main breed I work with, so yes, I get that a lot.

Near hatching, you should see one of two things: either a shadow in the air cell from the internal pip, or blood vessels along the edge of the air cell. If you can't see either of those, its a bad egg.
