Apparently I'm the only one with terrible beginners luck

Are you kidding? Try again. Back luck kinda floats around, and lands on whatever eggs it wants. Maybe this time it'll work....

I didn't know your first hatch went so badly. Now I feel bad for offering you eggs so many times! I'm sorry.

funny thing is my first hatch was 95% and i didn't do anything by the book and just put them in a had them hatch out, i turn them (but not terribly regularly) and kept the temp the right way other than that, i didn't know what i was doing at all

i didn't even measure humidity!

Sometimes things happen & there is nothing you can do about it Sorry Hun !

My first ones came from my moms silkies, which came from McMurry hatchery. My second ones (4 years later) came from an auction. The thrid set came from Estes Hatchery in MO. So far, they've all been very broody.

You should go tell Cochin shes a good setter!!

That's great! Now I'll have to look for some silkies while I'm there and LOL!

Ducks are great, but goslings talk to you, and listen and well yeah.

That is EXACTLY it!

Tufts and crests are different. Crests are deformities in the skull, and can be lethal bred crested to crested which is why they can be crested/non crested. Tufts are just feathers that stick up like a bad hair day, and both parents/offspring should be tufted. Plain headed romans are pretty much a completely seperate breed here, there shouldn't be tufted/non tufted mixed goslings.

hmm
well maybe you just have defective tufted romans
hahaha
that have no tufts.

Oh no it's fine! After that I haven't tried hatching anything after that terrible incident. In that incident the mother actually incubated all the eggs but they died as soon as I took them in because she was attacking them. Hopefully this year will be better
