Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

[JulieNKC]

I am not going to get any more eggs until the ones I have are done. I am getting burned out on babies.

I know. I was thinking about that earlier, geese grow fast and I'm hoping I can make a huge brooder for them and the older ducks, use the one they're in for the calls. If I can hatch any, of course. I hope spring gets here early.

Hey there. It was really hard to not set my ebay goose eggs when I did my afternoon turning, but I felt it would be best to set them with the other goose eggs, assuming they get here tomorrow. I did candle my 12 duck eggs and all are still going strong. One week to lockdown.

Julie, when is lockdown for your africans again??

 

[JulieNKC]

She's probably on some good drugs after that surgery.

Probably. That was the only good part about surgery, and you only get the really good ones while stuck in the dang hospital.

I goofed on the day I set them, I set them the 6, was thinking 5th for some reason even though I wrote it on the freakin eggs.

So I go into lockdown with you, just in case they take 28 days. I think since they're africans they can take up to 32 days though.

I see my pain specialist again Monday and I think she is going to have to put me back on some pain pills until I get to Iowa City in March

How long do Chinese Geese take to hatch?

 

[JulieNKC]

What would you guys think about letting me make the 10,000 posts???? Since I did get this thing going and all.

You better keep your butt awake until we do then.

You can't expect us to keep our mouths shut very long ya know?

 

[Iain Utah]

I think I read 30-32 for africans. Next week will be exciting! My first hatch and my first time having ducks.

 

[stillmecle]

Chickens take 21 days right?
Ducks 28 days
Chinese Geese?

I was talking about the super fun push the button and it knocks you out thing.

I had an open surgery on my kidney in March where they opened me up from my belly button to my breastbone. They had me on that thing for 3 days until I stopped being able to breath. I don't remember those 3 days at all.
