Tell them to get there early. There is a Southwest flight from Sacramento arriving in Phoenix at 12:10. I'll be on it with an empty suitcase if I don't have at least a pip by morning.

My broody hatch pictures. I had to take 2 as my broodies are a bit ticked off at me. My poor hands. They are pulling a staggered hatch as one has been continously laying eggs while the other is sitting so when they are done its my turn to bring the extras inside and finish up.

This one is me holding the gosling and the broodies hissing in the background. You can't see daddy, hes behind me biting my leg.

This one is me pushing away feathers so you can see the little gosling under mommy. Not the greatest but geese hurt when they grab your skin and wont let go.

I should take pictures of my hands to show my war wounds. It looks like I got attacked by a wild animal. My geese are not my friends. They were here when we moved in and deal with us but don't really like us. Which is why I have 6 baby goslings in my mudroom that are nicely imprinted on me and will love me when they get older.

Still no pips and it is day 20 at night. Interesting.

Ok I have one BCM chick out and 2 new pips. I am sooooo tired, I started work at 5:30 am this morning. I am probably headed to bed here in a few and will most for certain wake up in a few hours to check the bator with a flashlight for any more action. I can't stand sleeping when I have a hatch going on. I will check in if I get anything exciting!!!

on your hatch, but not sure the heat will allow me to run the bators in July. I set eggs for my next hatch as I was locking down for this one.

You are another person that must be running their bator correctly.................................... and setting on the correct date.
