How about a Thread for Embdens?

[psue]

Hi all;

The crazy season has started in the UK as well. Currently nine eggs in a Brinsea incubator , quite succesful last year (First year) will be checking on Sunday to see if set and 16 in a nest in the shed, but the ladies are reluctant to sit at the mo. Plus at least three are using the same nest for laying. Will keep all updated.

yay... Good luck

Here's my big guys . Marshmallow Marilyn and Marian . 1 yr. old getting ready to set the eggs can't wait . Hope it works. This is going to be my first time with geese any suggestions. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

They are beautiful, have you read the Bible on goose hatching? https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...-for-breeding-incubating-hatching-and-rearing lots of great folks here to answer any of your questions too.

Re our photo they've been together less than 24 hours and they have really taken to each other. I am just not sure what our latest young friend is, black beak and black legs.

Looks like toulouse gosling

Thanks been doing some hunting since and tend to agree. We picked her up from a local poultry breeder who tried to tell us she was an embden which I knew she was not. Main thing is that after 24 hours our young gosling and our new bird are best mates resting heads on each other in the brooder. More pics to follow. Paul T
