Let's have a gosling hatchalong!

I am glad she has finally decided to stay in a safe location. That is wonderful so now you not only can stop carrying her and her eggs around every day, but have a bit more peace of mind about having a predator in such close proximity. Good luck on your hatch by the way!


Okay, so I am up to 4 goslings and number 5 is working its way out of its egg in the hatcher right now.
Here is number 4 right after I put it in the brooder yesterday afternoon...

Another pic of the baby brooder...


Here is a shot of the whole brooder. My husband built if for me in the goose breeding barn on Sunday. It has large sliding doors and is divided into two sections; the bigger chicks are on one side and the babies on the other. He is going to extend it so it spans the entire length of the barn, so I can have two more sections to divide the birds as they grow.




I'd like to know more about your brooder if you could get some more pictures and some dimensions.
 
Been watching some people on here saying that they hatch chicks with their goslings so i decided to add some with my 6 goose eggs. Plus 3 more goose eggs. So now i have 9 goose eggs in the 'bator with 19 chicken eggs. Here goes the first attempt at multi species hatching together. Crossing fingers cause im not the luckiest when trying something new.
 
I HAVE GOSLINGS! Two of four hatched! And they tried to bite my nose!

Here are my hatched goslings from yesterdays hatch. We have 8 little babies...












I put them on a towel on my bed and you think they would stay in the middle, right? Wrong they have to find the very end to poop on!
