Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

Hey SM! The goosers are still working. One is closer than the other to externally pipping. Meanwhile I have a Swedish flower hen that hatched. I piped for the other 4 because they were shrink wrapped. (insert huge ***** eye roll here.)

Does being called swedish flower hens give swedish flower hen roosters a complex?

OMG!! That's exactly how that conversation went too!!!!

I can't remember what I changed the subject to. Something stupid.

If hes a boy honey, that'll work! LMFAO!

Nah, they get to be the pistol of the flower, instead of the stamen! LOL

Hubby: (looking in bator)... "Is this the new chicken?"
Me: "Yes.. (nervous twitching.. get away from the bator.. Oh geez.. he's gonna see.)
Hubby: (puzzled look) "Are those Duck eggs?"
Me: "Yes."
Hubby: "Those are freakin' HUGE!!"
Me: "Mmmm Hmmmm"... (change of subject).

Hi sm! CG got her geese today, and we've all been debating on whether I got the right geese or not.

GC - Yes, this works if shes allready on eggs, or dummy eggs. You can try it, w/o though. Do it at night. Just go slip those babies under her. She'll think they are hers!

Anything I should know? I'm going to assume they should be in a secure pen so the other birds won't try to attack the babies.

Broody is waiting on a nest in the "hospital/broody breaker" area. Normally we break them but my bosses are keeping this one's hopes up for me.
