    When will you take goslings from the flock

    I got them as adult birds. They were never close to me but they will come and hang out at where we work 😂😂 they ate 200 of my lettuce transplants last year. I feel like we have some very complex relationship going on here. They used to run towards me at feed time. Not anymore since the babies...

    Community nest with broody birds... Have you had that happened. How did it go

    I tried to separate the nests and I'm getting really confused with them. I first tried to move my broody hen to her own nest with just chicken eggs. She keeps on going back to the duck eggs. Then I separate them apart and leave three nests in the pen. End up the two ducks sitting on one nest...

    I knew when I started incubating that those eggs are not in their best condition. But I figured I'll give them a try. Tho next time i would be more careful with them as this time I was kinda half paying attention to them and didn't get around to cool and mist on day 10 onwards. One of my geese...

    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    It had been two days since I hear him chirping and no sign of external pip And I suspect he is in a wrong position too as the Air cell is on the side of the egg not on top. I did end up helping and peeled a little shell off ( my son is really hoping for a gosling to care for ) but he is not...

    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    That's what I was thinking. The air cell on the eggs are very odd looking too. I assume because they got cold at night after they were laid. I'm gonna make a safety holes tomorrow if they don't pip externally then. I actually have another 5 eggs in there that I put in after a week lol. So...

    I'm really hoping they will hatch out. I wasn't going to incubate then but my son wants some goslings to take care of so I picked 13 eggs I stole from them while it was still freezing out at night. I think only 3 out of 13 made it to lockdown ( I also added another half dozen a week after 😂😂)...
