Good morning all and welcome to Willow. I am down to only two Sebbie eggs out of the six I received in the mail. If I don't get any Sebbies I plan on ordering a pair and then trying to set my own eggs. Shipping is so chancy. I am sooo sad because I love the look of the Sebbie geese and figured that I would let my oldest daughter have my Chinese and Troulouse if I ended up with those gorgeous Sebbie geese. So now I am determined to have some of my very own by hook or crook. Good luck to all of you that are hatching eggs.
My first gosling ever pipped this morning! I almost called out of work, i can't wait to get home and see what I have. Have a ton more in the incubator. So hopefully there is more to come over the next month!!! Will post pics when he/she makes an apperance!
I hatched my first gosling ever this morning!!! and here she/he is. Not really sure if it's a goose or gander since mommy is a buff saddleback and daddy is all white.
I do have one question are their genitalia supposed to look swollen right after they hatch? (I do have a pic i just don't want to post it on the thread and offend anyone) Thanks!!!!
I'm posting here and on Sebbie forum with this question: if any of the 3 growing Sebbie goslings hatch (next Tuesday is day 28!
) is it possible for their parents (out back in my goose pen/yard) to raise them safely or since they didn't sit on the eggs and hatch them, they won't 'know' them and adopt them? I take Sadie's egg each time she lays one, so I don't see any signs of broodiness. If I left them, she may decide to set though....I trying to figure out if I brood them indoors with chicken chicks, or let Sammy and Sadie try to raise them.....anyone ever try that?
