Evening all. Did some candling today, looks like 11 of the 12 goose eggs I set are developing, which is awesome. Tufted Romans are hard to find, and I had these shipped from another breeder to add some new blood to my flock.

After doing some math, it looks like I have 148 eggs of various species incubating. Whoops! Sneaks up on you when you keep setting them in batches, lol.
 
Turns out my eldest daughter (who was at the hospital with my youngest) didn't bother to tell me my grandson had been born >.<

He hatched at 4:42 this morning, and he and mom are doing well!

@Pyxis are you out looking for more land? :lol:

Right? Lol. Luckily I won't keep a lot of them. 47 are those guinea eggs, and I'll sell most of them. 14 are Ko Shamo eggs, only some will be kept for breeding and showing. Got some silver mallard eggs in, those I'll keep all that hatch. 12 wyandotte eggs I won in the raffle, I'll sell all that hatch. All goslings that hatch will stay. 41 quail, those hardly count, lol, plus extra males will be dinner. Oh, and 10 royal palm eggs left, will keep some ladies and one tom, the other males will be either dinner or sold.

So it's not as bad as it sounds, haha.
