A very beautiful young lady.  Maybe she is jealous or has high hopes for the future.

I hope she gets to the nest box assigned to her so she does not break any more eggs.

I ordered 10 Australorp and 10 Rhode Island Reds

You might try putting three or four eggs in her nest box and see if that helps.mark them and you will be able to rotate the oldest eggs out and always have the fresh ones in the nest to prevent some of the eggs from getting to old.

Sounds like a good idea @anjovi6. I am waiting for one of them to go broody. They just recently took antibiotic so i think we cannot eat their eggs for at least 2 weeks. So instead of tossing their eggs, i might let them hatch. Question is, my roo died 2 weeks ago so i am not sure if the eggs are still fertile. I am almost positive the eggs laid few days after my roo died can be hatched, not sure for the eggs laid within this week.

Maybe one will go broody. But you run the risk of no eggs hatching the older the eggs are. As a general rule eggs are not likely to hatch once they go beyond being 7 days old.

Best of luck.

I guess i have no choice but to toss those eggs.

My last batch of chicks are now 11 weeks. Few weeks from now the cockerels will start to crow so they need to be sent to my brother before they learn to practice their morning routine. I like my JG cockerel a lot because he is so big and gentle so i might raise him as the flock master. I just hope he is not as loud as my last RIR. Otherwise, he will be sent to my brother as well.

In the mean time, i am feeding the ladies with laying mash so they continue to lay. So far, i am satisfied getting 2-3 eggs a day out of my 3 hens

Has anybody here tried shipping in Goslings from the US? Ive tried calling almost all geese farms in the US sadly they wont ship to the PH.

I really like to get hold of a dewlap toulouse or buff dewlap..

In the past I have tried to hatch imported goose eggs.

They are very big and get damaged easily.

I dropped several hundred dollars on tolouse and Sebastopol and hatched zip.

They moved back to the bottom of my list
