Brazil if i can see the beak i might say but Malcom looks alot like an american buff gosling (besides the coulour)

Oh, well maybe it´s just the way the light is in the pic then. Those nares just look a long way down, that´s all.

dancerchick im trying to open the incubator since my bator loses temp and humidity rapidly! But i did put an egg to my ear of one of my broodys and i heard cheeping and they are due either tomorrow or thursday

Super

Thanks! Have you seen the entries? They are all gorgeous there is a set that i especially like its 5 stages of incubation developement drawn in pencil on goose eggs

I liked those too, and some that took 6 hours to do one egg, with various stages of applying wax and paint or dye..and those that take 26 hours each, or thereabouts, individually butt-painted.

Ooh they're lovely! If I end up with a boy that pretty I will be very happy! whatever, he/she gets on great with Moose.

And that´s what you wanted, after all. Wouldn´t it be funny if Moose turns out to be a girl after all?

And i was worried i wouldnt get any eggs this year lol this is what ive gotten in about 10 days or so. 44 eggs from my girls. A lady near by wants to buy them for crafts

Well that´s just plain greedy!!

I was ALMOST bad today. Went to the feed store and low and behold in the middle of the store was a huge horse trough full of goslings. I swear two looked like saddlebacks the rest were white chinese and brown chinese i could pick out chinese babies blindfolded lol i had to make myself walk away to keep from getting the lil saddleback looking gossies

I wouldn´t have been so strong. Congrats.

Are you trying to make me and my egg jealous?

 

[livininbrazil]

The beak is actually all pink but being a grubby little gosling who doesn't like to wash it face it's caked in breakfast!

Haha, so mucky I can´t even see the nares!!

19 was what i started out with in the bator now im down to 12.

Its a table full of eggs thats for sure, averaging 4 girls laying a day thats only 8 of them laying though. Two quit because of broodiness and one has a nest by herself that im not touching. Still out of 13 girl two have not laid at all yet.

I only have 5 girls total, so I'll not get as many.

I wouldn't count on it! Apparently my original 2 geese managed to hatch out 60+ goslings between them the year before I got them (All to the same gander). They went broody twice in the same season!
