Very kind. Baby oil is good for that

or mud, if you're Rav

You'd know!

Well now I've got someone wanting to keep a single goose. As a house pet. The say they know it's generally a bad idea but they've had pet birds before so they can make it work. Sigh.

Can I give them one of these:

?

Ugh. Hope they got talked out of that!

I can't remember - must have been a new members post - they asked about duck diapers. I usually unsubscribe immediately after having posted on that forum.

Twin observations:

It looks like small twin was shutting down a day or so ago. Once that starts, the toxins from decomposition quickly migrate through the warm, moist egg environment, typically killing the surviving sibling.

Each embryo was completely and perfectly formed and feathered, but had not started drawing in yolk. Developmentally they were day 22-23, on the calendar day 28 with all eggs in the same set hatching on time.

Each embryo had a distinct yolk sac, separate vascular systems, and each was encapsulated in its own inner membrane. In addition, there was fluid between each inner sac and the inner shell membrane.

Typically the vascular systems are strongly tied to the air cell for gas exchange. In this case, the air cell was almost non-existent and there was very few blood vessels to the air cell. Those that were there were attached only to the larger poult's sac.

Just read that thread. I don't get why people want to put animals through such stress for their own entertainment. A dog would be better for them imo,

I agree. I hope my latest post got that point across.

It's all starting to make sense now.
