It seems like these broody hatched babies are stronger from the beginning. They were up zipping around in no time where the incubator babies took a longer time to get up on their feet!

I may do that.. I think it would be funny. AND I'd obviously need more geese to have all the reindeer names.I think once they get their personalities, the names will pop for you. I actually think all of santa's reindeer names would be a cute theme!
(I need 9 names for Lexi's babies!)
I don't like their grate either. Someone on the NR thread added a piece of poly window screen, said it works well. I think I have a piece, but haven't tried cutting it to fit yet.
There are different grades and thicknesses. I bought the thinnest one, kinda looks weaved and sorta lacy looking, the "threads" seem closer. I'm going to try the thicker one next time, its small checker-board squares with alternating empty blocks. I think it will allow the humidity to rise better.
Squeeeeeeee!!! too cute.
My group has been fine with the babies so far, Lexi puts them in their place. But Jax still chases the older duo, Bianca and Squirt. They hung out with me yesterday, working on my coop addition. And Jax would wait for me to turn my back to chase them. They would always run toward me and I'd cut off his path to them. He got ahold of Squirt once. I'm not sure if he's trying to mate with them or kill them!
I've noticed the same thing with the broody hatched chicks verses the incubator ones...It seems like these broody hatched babies are stronger from the beginning. They were up zipping around in no time where the incubator babies took a longer time to get up on their feet!
They are cute...I have 4 of these little geese that hatched a day early! That is unheard of this year.
Cute aren't they?
