Thanks for the replies :) I have no problem looking at other people's eggs and being sure of an answer, but when it's comes to mine I always second guess myself! I saw them breeding yesterday for the first time. I still can't believe this goose is a girl. "She" tried to breed with my daughter's...

Bump

It was a first egg so I wouldn't incubate it regardless. Goose eggs are huge, I have limited room in my brinsea. I don't want to put in an egg I don't know to be fertile when I have them from another bird that definitely are. Thanks for the input though.

I was shocked to discover our little gander is in fact a goose... I'm having a hard time deciding if her egg is fertile or not, and whether I should collect them for hatch. There is a gander with her, but he's paired up with another goose. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Thanks for the input! We'll just have to wait and see at this point :)

I have two turkey poults that we're hatched September 22nd, making them 9.5 weeks as of today. I don't know what breed they are, and the feed store was clueless when I picked them out. I'm including pictures from day one, approx 5 weeks, and within the last couple days. If any specific...

I was semi hoping they wouldn't so I could take them back and raise them as house geese, lol! As if my neighbors don't already hate me enough :)

We had two hatch yesterday, and a third is pipped today! We're thinking they're Africans. My friend picked them up last night and introduced them this morning. As you can see they welcomed them and are guarding them! They're so cute :) those lucky geese have over 500 acres with numerous ponds...

We have 2 externally pipped, and one working around. The third is internally pipped. Plus we have 7 puppies! Lots of excitement.

Tyne two furthest along had the "dip" in them this morning so I switched them over to the hatcher! We have puppies due any minute, geese in the hatcher, quail and geese in the baton, and quail and a lone chick in the brooder. Crazy!

I have two incubators. One is used as the hatcher because it's easy to raise the humidity in.

So based on that I think I have one or two that are really close!

Fantastic, thanks so much!

Thanks, I'll look! That's the exact type of thing I've been looking for :)

They're all at different gestational. The early ones I can tell. I want to make sure they get in the hatcher at an appropriate time.
