So exciting!

Barely dried off.
Can you tell which is which?
Not much difference.
Lav on left, buff on right.

They are very cute, LOVE the pose!!!


I am fascinated by this "breed" of duck. I've read that they are not very fertile nor do they hatch well.

Where did you get these eggs to hatch? How long have you been hatching them?

Adorable!!!! The one on the right looks like he/she is smiling for the camera.

Thanks!

One more clutch of buffs and lavs incubating in the shed
under my buff goose "Peaches" with grey baby-daddy
"McGraw" standing guard outside.
Here's hoping a few more hatch out.

I know what they are. Sorry for the typo.

"Sebbies" (nickname) are Sebastopol Geese
and I've been breeding them since 2005.
I think some bloodlines are less fertile than others
but the last 2 years many breeders across the nation
have had poor hatches from everything from pigeons to geese.
Causes undetermined.
I use both incubators and setting hens to hatch them out.
