Wanted to post pictures of the elite-8 now that they are 4 weeks and 3 days old. From little puffs of fluff that could just barely wobble to this...

They are developing wing, back/sholder and tail feathers. They should be about 3/4 feathered in another week or two. It is amazing how fast they grow.

I should have goslings between now and Thursday. Today is 28 days. The goose i slipped the eggs under was acting very suspicious yesterday evening. I will probably go take a peek at her soon.
Im expecting 2-3, out of 4 eggs. 4th egg was iffy but was dark as the others, If i get 4 i will be very happy.

Amazing how you can go from 3 to 11 in just 28-30 days almost instant flock lol

It looked like the eggs were about to internally pip, you could see them push up against the air cell!! So I went ahead and made super super tiny safe holes. Just to be safe. I lost about 30 call duck eggs after they internally pipped... Not doing that again.

Aww that is sad 30? i understand they are extremely hard to hatch because of their short round bills.

I hope your gosling make it out, I wouldn't do any more now but wait.

Yes I plan on just sitting here now! I don't want to, but I will!

Yes it was horrible. I opened them all up after the hatch and every single one had their beak inside the air cell but just couldn't pip. The other 25ish just never pipped.
