Goslings of 2015 Hatch-a-Long

[Lacrystol]

So I should just take it out .. I have heard stories that bad eggs blow up

Oh you'll know a bad egg before it happens. Once it starts to rot as soon as you open your BATOR you'll smell it. To be on the safe side I would.

Ok ,I will take it out.

My sebbie is still laying but her eggs are hidden (she is in a large dog kennel ) so the eggs are not in her nest seems like she pushes them away and are up against the kennel ,if I where to leave them would she gather them up and go broody or would they go bad

Hopefully my girls start laying soon. Last year i got my first egg Feb 26th which is today. It would be nice if it happened again and i found one today. Cant go check until this evening though.

Are you going to incubate yours also?

Yes i plan on incubating some.
Im hoping my ducks start laying as well so i can incubate those too. I have one chocolate runner hen, one blue ancona hen, 3 welsh harlequin hens & 2 welsh harlequin drakes. The harlequins could be crossed with ancona but im not sure, they do look like purebreds that ive seen in pics.
I said i probably wouldnt have time for little ones this year but im dead set on making time for them. I cant go with out raising little fluff balls.

Breeding pairs are in pens

My brown African female ( hatched last year if ye can remember my 4 Africans goslings ) laid her first egg yesterday.
I was very surprised and thank goodness she is in a breeding pen with my 3 year old African gander because the eggs will be purebred.
It might mean incubating might start early again this year.

If i dont have goslings this year i will have ducklings for sure. Im getting some blue swedish duck and some blue swedish x pekin cross eggs. Atleast 2 dozen maybe 4 dozen. From really nice looking birds too and for free, cant beat that.
