@Lisa: Thanks again for the welcome, and you sure are right about this fowl err foul weather we've been having.
@Sphinx, Re:
@SashaT: I do indeed have 9 Welsh Ducklings, but they're only 3 weeks old. To be specific, we have 9 Welsh Females, 2 Cayuga of unknown sex (I think one male one female, but we'll see), a Golden 300 female, a chocolate runner female (TBD but she's a few months old and quacking), and 2 of an unknown breed, that we got from the feed store a few months back (one male, one female). I could be persuaded to add another runner to the flock, we're still looking to expand a little. We were looking into getting some muscovies, but I've been unsuccessful at finding any that require less than a 2 hour drive, lol. I have never seen an anconda IRL, but just looked them up. I think the Welsh's are very nice, and they sure have a nice temperament. Our runner is very flighty, but the Welsh's seem to be a lot less fearful of everything. I added a picture, hopefully it comes out.
@Sphinx, Re:
There are indeed some good tempered geese, but some breeds are more prone to good behavior than others, haha. American Buff's are more known to be even tempered, and quiet.Dave, I wasn't aware that there were nice tempered geese. Every one I've ever met has been mean. Welcome to BYC though!

There were no more pips, no movement, no sound, and since the other 5 were already fluffed up, I was suspicious, so I took an egg out and into a heated, steam-filled bathroom. Tapped a few times with the end of the tweezers and heard nothing. popped a little hole in the air cell, no response. picked a couple little pieces of shell off to really see into the egg....saw a dead chick.
