They are pipping!!!

Pictures... I thought I just posted pictures, but don't see them. Four out of Four hatched. One has a little splay leg. I've tied them together with some yarn, hopefully I can get some vet tape on Monday at the pharmacy. They are so soft. I just love them. They are docile too... not squirmy like my ducklings.

So precious

and what breed? lol

Newmama510 - I've provided a link to an incubation Guide that you can read and should help answer your questions.

Tia - adorable goslings and congratulations. For splayed legs or when the goslings are unsteady I use a perforated silicone matting. Rather like the placemat silicone material that 'sticks' a plate to the table for someone that needs meal assistance. it provides great traction for their feet and helps to prevent and correct the problem.

Best of luck with them all
