Hey everyone!
Bringing in my new ganders really threw my girls for a loop. Ive gotten 17 eggs so far from Ethel(tufted) & Stormy(tufted chinese). Guess not having any boys this spring really made them desperate.
Too late for gossies but atleast i will have some to make ornaments with :)
Also...
I will get pics soon. They just got through getting used to the place now they have been introduced to the others, the next couple days they will get let out to free range together during the day.
Hey Everyone!
Been a while since i was on here. Ive been pretty busy. Almost went completely out of the fur & feathers business this summer, just got frustrated after almost being whiped out in the spring. I was ready to get rid of everything, but Once you are addicted you cant quit cold turkey...
Because my parent stock is a flock 7 ducks i bought. 2 pair looked like saxony. The other 3 hens are a chocolate runner, a blue ancona and a dark brown hen.
The light colored are from the saxony trio, the others are from the other hens and the other saxony drake.
My newly hatched ducklings with 3 two week olds.
Excuse the mess i took these after they played in their water and before i changed the bedding.
The duckling from the egg that i dropped, cracked and fixed is the dark one at the bottom standing in the bowl in the first two pics. I call him Crack...
The eggs were given to me. These are 1/2 brown chinese & 1/4 toulouse 1/4 embden. Their daddy is The brown chinese & is a gander that i raised. Their mother is a toulouse/embden and she is 18 years old!
The goose in sitting on them is their surrogate mom.
Today is day 30 for the goose eggs i had in the incubator and then slipped under the goose. Im still waiting to see anything from her, its a cool rainy day today so i wont be able to go check on her until this evening. The eggs are from a toulouse/embden goose so they could take up to 32-34...
I should have goslings between now and Thursday. Today is 28 days. The goose i slipped the eggs under was acting very suspicious yesterday evening. I will probably go take a peek at her soon.
Im expecting 2-3, out of 4 eggs. 4th egg was iffy but was dark as the others, If i get 4 i will be very...
If everything goes right, Stormy should be a mom by this time next week. I decided since she was broody that i would let her raise the goslings. So i slipped the 4 eggs ive been incubating under her.
I just dont have the time to raise them myself. There is nothing better than having goslings...
