Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

I've heard they can be pretty loud for such little chits - is that true?

Pulled 3 eggs from the Bator(1 clear chicken, 1 clear turkey and 1 early quitter chicken egg), added the 2 duck eggs

I'm still not sure on some chicken eggs but if I clear some out because they're bad do you think I could add goose eggs?

For Nat

She was following me around and begging

Oh how pretty! What breed?

I believe goose eggs are much more finicky... need slightly cooler temp than chicken or duck eggs, have to cool them, etc... ask @Pyxis about goose egg incubation... personally, especially if it's a first time, I wouldn't mix goose eggs with other types...

Well my cousin says Lacie is back, but not Willow. Willow comes and goes these days so that I'm not totally worried about. But the geese are gonna lose their free ranging privileges for awhile. No more wandering off like that.

Glad Lacie came back...

Oh I found that out...have 3 little ones that hatched about 2 weeks ago. I started with 12 and half weren't fertilized...the wifey had almost all fertile and the mistress 2. 2 died halfway and the last one was still moving one day but was dead the next (I should've helped the little thing, it looked perfect when I opened the egg). I have 3 little cuties from the wifey though! One is a mess but funny as can be!
