Up for bid are four Brown Chinese eggs. Fertility has been checked and running at 100% so far. Out of the twelve eggs I have artificially incubated this year, all hatched and goslings were healthy. Parent's were hand raised and have very nice temperaments. Eggs are collected daily and...
Can anyone tell me the difference between angle wing and plain ole droopy wings from feathers coming in?
I have two 6 week old Sebastopol goslings who's primary wing feathers are coming in very quickly. The feather shafts are not sticking straight up in the air nor are the tips of their wings...
These are my two white Seb goslings hatched on 4-15 which I believe are both female. I know the females are supposedly darker than the males at this age but since this is my first hatch of pure whites, I'm not 100% sure what to look for. Anybody with more experience have an opinion?
OMG!! One of my Sebastopol goose eggs that had a huge crack in it which I repaired with acrylic, the type used for false fingernails, has made it to hatch day. She, at least I hope it's a she, pipped in the wrong end last night and is starting to zip already.
Has anyone ever tried incubating while traveling in a car?
Next week, due to circumstances beyond my control, I have to leave town for a few days. Unfortunately, my last two goose egs are due to hatch right in the middle of the days I will be gone and there is nobody at home I trust enough to...
Here are my colored Seb eggs from fellow BYC member, Banter. They are the offspring of her goose & gander, Zeena & Zander. Today makes exactly one week in the bator and so far everything is going great.
Next week they'll be joined by four white Seb eggs.
This thing is so neat. If I catch the hatch-a-holic fever, I may just have to buy one

I have a newly hatched (within the last hour) gosling with a protruding navel. The yolk sac is not hanging out, there is no blood, and it is totally closed. The navel just looks swollen and it is about the size of a small grape. I'm assuming this is part of the yolk sac.
Should he/she be...
I've got four goose eggs in the bator right now, they're on day 14 of incubation. This morning I woke up with a really bad cold and now I'm worried about even touching and/or breathing on them. It's a Top Hatch incubator so the eggs are being turned automatically but to keep the humidity...
