CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! At least one of use git a gosling. I am not optimistic. Oh well. Not ready for goose eggs yet I guess.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

It's official. No goslings for me. I'm happy one of us got a hatchling.

awww did they all quit on you late or what? I'm afraid the other 2 quit on me, but I'll float test tomorrow I guess. Here is a pic, pretty sure its a sebbies!

W! So cute. 4 had quit early. I must have tricked myself into thinking I saw movement. The last quit late.

 

[CowgirlHC]

awww :-( late quitters are the worst. I'm fearing the same out of Mike's other 2 friends. I'm pretty sure "he's" a sebestapol! SUCH pretty birds, and rather expensive lol. Not sure what we're going to do with Mike yet.

Well I'm glad if only one of us got a baby that it was you. I am setting and hatching eggs every week. My daughter doesn't keep up with individual eggs anymore. Some days there are new babies. She didn't even notice there are no goslings. I would hate for your daughter to have been dissapointed.

LOL she loves that dang goose! "Mike" is a she I do believe. Tried vent sexing, but wow I'm no good at that. I feel like I'm hurting the little fella's long neck. He seemed content on his own in the bator, but now that he's out he seems a little more upset. Anything I can do for him since he's a loner? I think the one egg may still be good. I float tested, one sank the other seemed possible. I read that depending on the breed, they can vary from 27 days to 35, so I popped them back in.

How is Mike doing? Anything else from the others?
