hatching geese eggs

[pete55]

Im afriad it is a problem with buying eggs on Ebay. I got some and all the air cells were detached. I really dont bother now and would try to make contact with some good breeders and collect hatching eggs yourself if possible. Some good news with the single egg though so fingers crossed for you Highlander

Day 4 today for our latest Dewlaps so hoping to see some embryos tonight when I candle. Got some eggs in that batch from a new mated pair of Canadian line 2010 Gander (very nice big bird) mated to our 2010 Buff Goose from John Hall's lines in UK. Crossing everything in the hope of some goslings this year from them

Do you know of any Sebbie breeders Pete? I struggled to find any which is why I went with the ebay eggs.

I do know some Sebbie breeders as I've reserved some show quality stock for this year. However the ones I know are all down South, Milton Keynes, Norfolk etc

Well thats a bit of a downer, if you got them from Ebay I would get intouch with them see if they will send more eggs...packed correctly.

Tried that, she wasn't having any of it. Blamed it on the post office.

Ya know that sucks I have had 2 bad hatches and both times if I paid for shipping they would ship one more time..

Lockdown on my 2 Sebbie eggs last night. I candeled before I put them in and saw movement in both eggs

Also saw 1 egg wiggling this afternoon.

Im not in lockdown yet but keeping an eye on them. I was chatting to the eggs half hour ago and 1 of them was rockin & rollin and chirping away to me. Ive seen 3 up in the air sac but none have pipped yet.

gf,
You got me all excited. I had some African and sebbies and they all went bad, my therm was way way off and I didnt know until everything was due to hatch. Was so sad.

Trying again with africans, they are I think two weeks along! So will join in on this batch!

Just checked again for the millionth time....still no pips here. But both eggs are rocking....

come on already !
