I'm so glad you posted this. I am a huge fan of user reviews, and the only thing holding me back was the fact that I didn't know of anyone who has used it. I'm excited to hear back from him today!

It rebounds in seconds after opening for hand turning, I dont worry about it at all. i would say it is as good as the redwood cabinets we have

I haven't gotten any eggs here yet... but honestly I am glad.. the weather it crappy for baby geese.

Just shipped 6 to Maine yesterday, arrived a-ok today.

glad we have a building for brooder stalls even though the munchkins arent sticking around for very long this year.

I'm biased..I'll take goslings anytime of the year!

I'm hoping to get my NPIP and AI testing done this fall after things calm down here. I'd sure be nice to be able to ship off any extra hatchlings, and juveniles that I end up not keeping.

ETA: Shellie, question; how long after a gander breeds a goose will she be fertile w/ that certain gander?

I hope you are all keeping your babies (hatched or not) warm!  We had a windstorm yesterday as well, and my hubby got out the generator and set it all up for me.  If you only have a few babies you stuff them in your shirt, but lots of babies and eggs wont fit.  LOL!
Jen 85, are you babies okay now?

I candled my goose eggs and 4/8 are growing!  The majority of my geese are first year layers, so there are lots of "pullet eggs".  I talk to the eggs that are growing now, because they are like goslings already.  YAY!  I put 14 more eggs in too.

Spring is so much fun!

All the babies are doing good, the quail have feathers but are still so little i decided to let them keep the light for awhile. The first Sebastopol egg I put in the incubator was no good but so far the other six are fertile and growing.
It still gets below freezing at night here but my goose is acting broody... Should I let her have the eggs back if she stays? She's been in the goose house all day and only has one egg ( her 8th) I thought she would lay more before wanting to sit on them? I would LOVE to let her hatch and raise them but with the weather I'm not sure I should.

They have two fenced in acres to play on during the day but at night I put them up. Thankfully that's where she decided to lay eggs. Everyone was telling me I would have to hunt for them everyday . They are so much fun to watch! The gander (or ganders- the third one I am unsure on. No breeding or eggs) are standing guard and chasing everyone. My four year old nephew asked me nicely if I would please kill them for him lol. They haven't bit any kids, but I told them to stay away from the geese just in case.

The reason I ask, is because the first two eggs Ashley (grey smooth goose) laid were both fertile...but it was only a couple weeks after I got them. She was with Trouble, and R.I.P. Cotton for several weeks before we got them moved into their current pairings. There could be a slight chance that Trouble or Cotton is the dad of her first two eggs. That would be wonderful!

Lovely goose house, and lovely Sebs!
