So sorry for your loss.

Thanks guys. We were holding out hope that we could possibly turn around whatever was wrong with him but it wasn't meant to be.

So sorry for your loss! I do have a question though - how do you sex goslings that are not sex-linked? Did you vent sex them? I am wanting to know the gender of mine...

 

[TennesseeTruly]

What kind are your goslings? I learned how to vent sex so now I can do several babies in a matter of moments.

It is an African. I am placing an order for some from the hatchery this coming week, and I want 1 cander and three geese. Knowing this little girl's gender will definately help me out.

arherp: It's basically done in the same way you would do rabbits, though probably a bit more gently

If you aren't used to doing it though, you'll probably think you've done it wrong, unless you happen to have a boy. The only one I've ever done turned out to be a girl, as I thought, but that doesn't tell me if I did it right

Ok, so I tried it... looks half like a boy. I am really just too scared to do anything very hard...

Anyone want to come do it for me? I am in North Central KY. (Louisville). It would totally be a fun weekend trip!

If something 'poked out' at you, chances are it's a boy.

Congrats

Thanks F2F! She's right. I thought I was doing it wrong. Then I realized that I was sexing all girls. LOL When I did get a boy, then I knew all the others were girls!
