Did you order your bees or buy locally? I've been looking into starting with a top bar hive. It doesn't produce as much honey as the traditional Langstroth hives, but it doesn't require near the equipment needed to harvest the honey. I was looking at this one on ebay.

Most of the puppies seem to be doing well, but the little runt is just so tiny. I tried to bottle feed him yesterday, and he took a little bit of it. This morning he seemed really weak and wanted nothing to do with it. I gave him back to mom and am hoping for the best. Mom is taking very good care of them!

I didn't like the puppy setup I started with, so I went home and made a larger whelping box out of the extra cedar boards I had left over from my fence. It came out really well, and Milla seems to really like the extra room. I may be a little biased, but I think she looks really good for just delivering 10 puppies!

I once hand fed a runt with an eye dropper by pushing the smallest amount in her mouth for her to swallow, bit by bit. She did end up a big fat girl. LOL

I don't think my goose babies are even developing...

I tried to post some pics last night via the iPhone, but it was acting crazy. Hubby told me to be patient... I'm trying, but it's SO HARD!!! I can usually spot some kind of life by now. I'm hoping that they are just going to be "late bloomers". I placed them in the incubator on 4-25. These pics are from last night. I guess that I will have to make myself wait to candle again until Friday or Saturday...

He is right about being patient. I don't like the long wait for the goose eggs. :/ Chicken eggs are soooooooooooooooo much easier than goose eggs. Will you cool and mist your goose eggs when the time comes?
