I have three little goslings hanging out in my bathroom. I have nine more in the 'bator - five more are pipped (Day 30 today!!) and four more are rocking. Crossed fingers they all make it out ok!!

next batch is starting to dip so this one will lose the bear and have siblings soon

Annabel, I hand turn 180 degrees 3x a day and stop turning about 5 days prior to hatch date, when the air cell starts dipping.  Good luck!

Congrats Kuntry!!

Thank you.

[COLOR=4B0082]That cracked me up about the turket sitting on the goose egg until it hatched and then beat feet out of there becauuse it did not look like her.  Well she did a good job anyway sitting on it. Cute gosling.[/COLOR]

LOL

Yes, she did a good job. I told her when I finally found her sitting on a nest of guinea eggs. :/ She ran a chicken off of the guinea eggs and is now setting up camp there. We'll see if she bails out when the keets are born.

Napoleon is a precious goose! Are you going to let her sit on fertile eggs? I have two dewlaps that went completely broody over a week ago. They are both sitting on about 6-8 eggs each, but not sure if any are fertile. I thought they were not known for being good broodies, but these two are taking the role very seriously!

At what day do you guys lock down on your geese? Mine should start pipping tuesday. Along with the chicks. Ive got the hatcher set up and ready to go. When should i move them?
