Sebastopol Geese Thread !!!!!!!!!! SHOW YOUR PICS !!!!!!!!!!

[aaajjss1]

So.. when cleaning out my goose house today SUPRISE!!!!!! I found two count em..TWO eggs.

I have been walking all over the yard every day looking and waiting for that first egg from Willow, she really had them buried under the straw

I am so stoked!
So now I am wondering do I trust them to my cooler bator or should I buy the brinsea eco? any one have bator advise for me I used the cooler bator for Willow last year and the still air hovabator for hatching her, but I am worried I really want goslings(hoping Winnie did his job) what do you experts think, a cabinet bator is not in the budget this year.

Hoorah for you! Congrats. Have you incubated goose eggs in your cooler 'bator before? If you can get a Brinsea, I'd go for't.

So are they saying they think the one with more grey is a male? I have heard of this. If that is the case, he could finish out totally white,* I think*.

I've had good results incubating goose eggs in my Brinsea. I misted them every day, and made sure NOT to open it during lockdown. It you have the cash, buy it. I don't know if I would risk the cooler bator. If you hatch only 3 goslings it will have paid for itself!

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 sent my deposit this morning, so hopefully in a few weeks I will have my incubator! I can't wait.

I would like to publicly thank Goose and Fig for coming to my Garth's aid. She is sending him a sweet goose to share his life with. He won't be lonely now. I am going to show him her picture tomorrow. Why he got himself one of them mail order brides... hahaha

I'm just planning to get into Sebastopols. I just fell in love with them.

Well I went to a show down here esp to see Nava's English Orps, and fell in love with these 2 Sebastopol geese. They were putting their head thru the bars on the cage and nibbling thru my hair and letting me kiss them , they were the sweetest. So I'm hooked.

i'm thinking my older girl is laying. but im wondering if i should put a wall up or a box for the other girl to lay in? all i got is a extra tall toper box for them to go in at night so won't be enough space for them to lay eggs in without butting heads?
