Need a very experienced opinion, possible shrink wrap.

Both Levi and Moose are doing awesome!! These pine shavings are a mess! Getting in their feathers and in their water, so I'm dumping the shavings and putting down puppy pads!

Here are today's pics....


















I was told the farmer gave me Embden geese and Pekin duck. However, these babies don't look like either?

That can still be Embden the girls have dark grey down on their yellow down. Boys have light grey down over yellow.. What an awesome hatch. thanks for sharing

So, would this one beconsidered dark grey or light grey? I named it Moose, but it be Lucy instead!

look at the one far right how dark. thats the female Now back to looking at goslings.

Awww, your babies are precious! I think I need better lighting! That one on the right is really dark, and the others are lighter for sure. But looking at mine, I'm still unsure. I have another one pipping externally now, hopefully it will be a different shade to help me determin.

Those aren't my babies i found these pics on line[bing] just to give you an idea of shading and how baby Embdens look. I may have some to share first of June since my goose is now sitting. Look forward to seeing your next gosling too, and I really like your incubator looks like a real good one. Are you keeping both goslings along with your duckling?

Glad he got out safely. The reason I thought it would be a good idea to help him a little is because I had a pigeon egg that started hatching and then stopped and by the time I got the nerve to try and help the baby had already died from being shrink wrapped!

It´s so sad, isn´t it, when we decide to wait and it goes wrong...I lost a gosling once because I hoped the new mum goose would be ok, but she was too keen and killed it. another time I´d hoped the mum wouldn´t crush the gos, but she did....both lost because I didn´t intervene. Well, there ya go.......you just have to decide and do what you feel is best.

We are raising the duck and geese for a petting farm. The kids will play with them all summer, or for as long as they want, then we return them to the farm. I may go out to the farm this weekend and pick up some more eggs since I will have an empty bator.

I can't wait to see your babies in June!!!!

Lightchick, I was totally going to step in if it hadn't turned around and zipped! I really appreciate your help. I'm a complete noob and this is my first hatch ever!!
