Let's have a gosling hatchalong!

[Iain Utah]

That egg is huge! I wonder if it is a double yolker?

 

[Goose and Fig]

I know! I am waiting for Guinness to call....

I have heard it is not a good idea to try and hatch double yolkers on geese.But my gosh that is one huge egg!

The goslings video of the goslings is adorable............

I keep forgetting. I will pick one up in the morning when I go to town....
This is next to an average Toulouse egg:

Looks like triplets to me.

I made a little video. Please excuse my silly hand and squeaky voice. It gets better toward the end when they start flapping.

SO CUTE!!!!

I just put 18 eggs in the incubator today! Following Pete's "sticky" incubation guide, I am really really excited to see if we have fertile eggs!

If you have a good scale, by all means weigh the eggs. I also trace the air cell at least once a week in pencil so I can see the progress.

As to the yeast..no, food yeast will not work. It has to be brewers yeast. You can get it pretty reasonably online. I got it on Amazon last year, and their are a few horse websites that sell it by the 5 gallon bucket that are pretty inexpensive. A couple teaspoons each day sprinkled on top of the food will do the job.

Ok, I'll weigh mine tonight during "cool down". Thanks for the help!

Put it in the 'bator and see what happens!
Who's egg is it?

 

[RURU]

Our 5 eggs are in lockdown now so we shall see what happens in a few days....I sure hope I get goslings this year.

Ruru- did you check for shadowing first? That is the one thing I think really might have made a difference here this time. In the past I may have drowned a few.
