Incubation - Membrane Question
I'm glad yours made it out okay. Aren't assisted hatches so fun? At least you have a bit more information on what's gone wrong and can hopefully avoid at least some of the same issues in the future. I have one apparently healthy goslings at this point. I left it in the bottom of its shell in a... -
Incubation - Membrane Question
How did your assisted hatch go? My egg that I thought had internally pipped died while I was at work today. Gosling was malpositioned when I opened it up. Looks like it did not actually pip through the membrane, but the membrane detached from the inside of the shell. I wonder if it died because... -
Incubation - Membrane Question
Good luck with trying to figure everything out. It could also be the pairing specifically if you have never hatched from them in particular. For example, Andy with another goose and the females with a different gander. Some pairings just don't work well together. About your questionable egg... -
Incubation - Membrane Question
As far as fertility goes: Any health issues can potentially (mostly temporarily) decrease fertility. It can also take up to a month after reintroducing the male to the female before you start consistently getting fertilized eggs, even if they are breeding. Has to do with the female's... -
Incubation - Membrane Question
Here's to hoping. Good luck with the rest of your hatches. Oh, power outages are the worst in the middle of incubation. Luckily, I haven't had any outages longer than 10 minutes while incubating eggs. I have had long bouts of no power while raising orphaned neonate kittens though, so I... -
Incubation - Membrane Question
I have had Pilgrim Geese the longest and have successfully hatched them a few times. They were also eggs from my own stock, so I knew the health and handling beforehand. I have Pomeranian Geese as well, but have not hatched any at this point. All of my past goose egg incubations were much... -
Incubation - Membrane Question
I'm going to be quite sad if none of these guys make it. I suppose that's a possibility, but they all seemed to be moving throughout earlier incubation. Though now that I think back, they may have been moving a lot less than the duck embryos that are incubating along with them. The one with the... -
Incubation - Membrane Question
The chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) is not within the end of the egg that contains the air cell itself, but should cover the inside of the rest of the egg. It is a different membrane than the inner shell membrane, which is what makes the air cell. The CAM develops as the egg develops, running... -
Incubation - Membrane Question
Hello everyone, I have had ducks and geese for over three years now and have hatched both multiple times. I bought seven Sebastopol eggs last month and drove to pick them up, so no shipping. I did not have a way of candling them until I got home, which showed me one of them was already rotten... -
Sebastopols: Non-Curly Feathers?
Hello everyone, I picked up three buff Pomeranian and six various colored Sebastopol goslings this past June: four Sebastopols to add to my flock and two for a friend. Out of the six Sebastopol goslings, only four of them have curly feathers: two of mine and the two that went to my friend. My... -

I didn't realize that until after I responded, then had a light bulb moment lol Let's see... I have white, buff, blue bibbed, black bibbed, butterscotch, chocolate, blue magpie, black magpie, silver magpie (I think?), and snowy. I was excited to hatch a couple grey and a couple blue fawn this... -

Can you tell by candling them? -
Mare's Illegal Cute-ness (Call Duck) Chat Thread!!
I think I miscounted the ducklings, so I may actually have 62 🤔 Out of the adults, there are 14 drakes and 26 hens. Then there are 21 or 22 ducklings. The youngest of them just got their big boy / girl voices, but I haven't paid attention to which belongs to who yet. Then there's all my geese... -
