Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

If you hatch your africans, I'd say get more african eggs. Then cull the extra boys once the gender is known. Just my 2 cents.

I think it's cheaper just to buy them. Plus I don't think I'd be so attached to goslings I order as one's I hatch. Maybe I'll put up a want ad on craigslist for african goose eggs, and see if I get any responses. If I don't need them shipped I'll get a better hatch and make it more worth it.

I put my ad on craigslist. I'd already talked with someone about chinese goose eggs, I can't find her email though. Doesn't hurt to see what else is out there though. My luck I'll get a dozen and hatch out all girls. My BO's I started with ended up being 4 pullets, one mean roo. I bought my silkies straight run, they were all girls. Got my EE from the roo bin at the feedstore because I WANTED an EE roo, I have a very pretty EE pullet. I only had 2 roos out of my last batch of 10 chicks I hatched. My ducks were all straight run and all girls. I had to go find an adult drake for them, and I thought for sure he didn't even like girls for the longest time.

Julie, that is some crazy luck! With my luck, none of my goose eggs will hatch.... and there are almost never any local ads for geese where I live. I might have to go the hatchery route myself.

I have all girl kids too, so it doesn't surprise me much that I have the same luck with my animals, lol.

My one year old decided to play with her diaper. Or what was in her diaper rather. So I've spent the last hour disinfecting my floors, the walls, toys, the toy box, the dresser... Oh and I'm seeing a spot I missed right there in the living room.

I have a doctor's appointment today at 245 so I have to leave for that soon. Then I go to the chiropractor after that. But I will definitely be keeping my eye on this thread.

Julie, there's a guy in the Mo Swap who has Chinese geese and Midget whites. Buzzard Barn Farm, he's on ebay a lot. Just fyi.
