June Hatch A Long

[jolenesdad]

So today is lockdown and I’m sad to say I had zero turkeys make it. And out of my 6 chicken eggs we are literally locking down 3 fingers crossed they hatch

Good luck to the three! Hoping they all make an easy entry to the world!

This article has a fascinating chart.

It looks to me if you don’t want it to imprint.... you could “hide yo’ husband”

Kidding aside, I’m not sure how important the additional human is.

I think I need geese now lol

I had no idea how lovable they were! A whole handful of fluff!
I even caught my husband in there taking the little gosling out and cuddling with it. lol

My husband might leave me if I bring home more birds lol. He agreed to 2 ducks... I got 4, and now have 3 babies with more hatching Monday and a broody hen he agreed to 6 chickens.... We have 13.

Are geese really as loud as they're made out to be?

You sound like me! This all started with me only wanting 3-4 chickens and it took me years to convince him we even needed those...so I REALLY pushed those numbers. lol

Yes, they can be. Some breeds more than others but when they have something to say...they say it. lol

And just like that (not seriously, this took 3 days, lol) all 3 goslings have hatched! The last baby out does have a hernia which I've only seen when incubation temps were too high so I guess that answers my question as to whether I should have adjusted it more when I first calibrated the incubator.
I moved all of them to the Little Giant incubator to dry off so I'll have to wait a bit before I can take more pictures. Hopefully little baby with a hernia will be ok!

Yeah CluckNDoodle!!!! Can’t wait to see those goslings!!!

Preeeeeetty sure that’s a crack?

I must have missed it before I haven’t taken this egg out to candle since day 1. Developing embryo.

What would you do?
