I am!
I set 8 pilgrim goose eggs on 5/5 and will be setting frizzled and smooth polish tolbunts on 5/9
If that is ok?

 

[LoveNewChicks]

sure!

I know this is silly, but when can you see the embryos?

 

[Iluvmallards]

For geese, around 10 days for white shell chicken eggs at days 3 or 4 if you see a cloudy spot or mass then a live embryo is present, day 7 or 8 for dark shelled eggs, but I would not disguard them if you don't see anything, I would candle again at day 14 and if you don't see anything then I would disguard them, my RIR eggs are hatching right now, I really didn't think they would, she is young and I didn't think she would stay on the nest.

one of my eggs as a embryo!!!!!

YAY! it is a the leghorn egg

 

[Iluvmallards]

Yay, I checked my pilgrims early and I have 2 out of 8 so far

ive currently got 13 little chicks running around! and another broody due to hatch this week!

 

[LoveNewChicks]

I think all of the eggs but one are fertilized!
last time it was 8 eggs 6 hatched 1 survived (my avatar)
so... I'm hoping for a better hatch this time
