hatching geese eggs

[gofasterstripe]

WOW...you was busy this weekend then. So where does 300 miles and 600 miles take you to go get your birds. I must say the only time Ive ever been over that way was to take someone to the Military nick in Colly..that was a hike from Chippenham and back again. I remember walking into their Guard Room and leaned against the door frame and promptly got screamed at that if I didnt want to end up in the nick to I better get of ....HIS F**KIN DOOR FRAME...OR ELSE... I dropped off the Inmate and left, never to look back.

Yep that would have been me outta there pretty fast too

Drove from Suffolk down to London, across Salisbury Plane and past Stonehenge then through Somerset and finally to Devon, a long long trip but so worthwhile

When I saw the Buff Africans it was

Ive been to Salisbury plains a few times to where they do the moc k battles for the Army and they have you all sit on the top of a hill and watch tanks and such getting blown up by jets and other stuff. I love Somerset, a good friend and old boss lives down there, hes a chit kicker thru anf thru, country as the day is long.

Day 7 for me so I candled tonight. Don't think any of my sebbies are developing at all. They weren't very well packed and had a bit of a rough ride I think. The one egg from the neighbour has veining though so looks like I might get one lonely gosling.

I'm going to hop on this train! I have 3 Sebbie eggs growing well that are due 4/22. I also have 4 that are due 5/2, but haven't candled yet to see how those are doing.

Hi All

On day 21 with Buff Dewlap eggs so will update that thread tonight with latest candling pics. Grey Dewlap eggs x 3 at 7 days and fertile. 2 Grey and 2 Buff Dewlap eggs at day 3 so wont know until tomorrow at the earliest.

Also our exhibition Rouens finally laid their 1st egg yesterday and another this morning so we'll try them with the next round of Dewlap eggs

Having some problems getting the air cells large enough in the 21 day Dewlap eggs despite relative humidity at 25%!!!! Just cant get them to lose moisture
