I will be getting my Pilgrims the first week of June and can't wait for the experience with this breed!!

don´t forget pics! And enjoy your babies. Now you have plenty of time to read up all these threads about problems, etc, and be aware before-hand. Happy reading!

Below is another pic of a previous hatch.
This little guy turned out to be a mix, but we loved him just the same. : )



Chillaxin' in the grass.

What happened with the rocking a
egg a couple of days ago? Still rocking? Pipped?

I just got a pair of pilgrim goslings a week ago. They are about 3 weeks old now. Will have to get pix later. My daughter named them Pip (male) & Peep (female).

Hi Silkie. Looking forward to pics.

@ livininbrazil - All five have now pipped internally. I drilled a 2mm hole in the air cell of the one that internally pipped so early. Still rocking, now they're talking as well. The last couple of days are the hardest to wait through. I'll take some pics if the hatch goes well. : )

One thing with making a hole in the shell is that the membrane can dry out and they get shrink-wrapped. Keep an eye on that one. Really only need to make a hole in the shell when they´ve been internally pipped more than 24 hours and not externally, due to lack of air. Also have to keep an eye on the membrane. Good to put wettish cloths spread ot in the incubator to add damp air.
