hatching geese eggs

I've thought about getting Pilgrims, they are very popular because they are auto-sexing. However, my Embdens can be color-sexed before they get their feathers and I plan to run with it

I'm going to 'band' my gander-ling before he gets all his feathers so I don't forget which one he is

Balbinka... can someone say "DIVA"?

:

I just ordered her adult-size pink "Flower Power" diaper harness from Indoor Ducks.
Along with pink and purple Poultry Boots and a pink Goose Walking Harness.

Currently in the process of ordering some intermediate size diapers from two awesome ladies here on BYC!

Should be receiving her baby sized harness tomorrow or the next day...


About Toulouse geese... those Dewlap eggs go for a lot of $$! ($40-$50?) Wow, I had no idea!

Pete- is that a little Goffin on your shoulder in the one pic? I have a 16yr old Goffin Veto

I love Goffin Cockatoos <3

You're lucky to have one! You'll have many, many more years with him.

Morning All

Critteranch - Congratulations and well done on hatching that cute cute baby. Adorable and so nice that he/she has got company too. Ironic that you missed the whole birth but easier on the nerves. Such a shame about the other eggs being so near but you've pulled it off and got a happy and healthy gosling

Well done

Amadeusb12 - Wow you've got a Goffin - NICE

I had a pair years ago and the cock killed the hen while she was on eggs!!! My little one is a Timor Lesser Sulphur Crested. She's too humanised and though I've tried her with 4 different males just cant pair her up. She lays two clutches of 3 eggs every year bless her. Had her 22 years now!

Countrychix - The eggs probably will be Utility Toulouse but you never know and you got a great deal no matter which they are

Shelley - nice to see you on board

More and more of you with white Sebbies, got my first pair reserved but got a while to wait. Love the smooth breasted whites. I did hear that the Dewlap eggs were expensive in the States. Over here they sell for about $20 each. However these are usually sold on Ebay and are not usually top quality Dewlaps. An added problem is that shipped Dewlap eggs usually dont suceed in hatching. However I have read of sucess stories in the States so either your breeders take more care in packing or you have a better postal system than us

Balbinka - What can I say

The photo is too cute

Was out checking the pond yesterday and saw the plants move around the nest box I put up for some Mandarins. Thought we may have some breeding activity at last from them. Popped my hand in the entrance hole to check how many eggs and felt something warm and furry

I pulled out these guys which are about 3 days old. There's a total of 5! Already got a neutered tomcat we took in and now this

Looks like I'll be trying to find homes for them! Bit of a suck in as I was hoping for eggs! Oh well not everything works out quite as planned

critterranch,

How is the sweet baby today?

 

[Alas]

My Embden finally hatched, but it doesnt look like the yolk was absorbed all the way. Will it possibly absorb after hatch or is it not going to make it?

It should be okay, wrap it with some plastic wrap to keep it from catching on anything or becoming infected.

ETA: Wrap the gosling and the yolk sac with plastic wrap around the baby's belly.
