We just got home from church and I candled it. Pretty positive its dead. Poor Millie bug is forlorn and is still looking for the eggs. Sad deal. Just sad.

Btw thank you all so much. I have learned lots about geese and hope perhaps she will try again. I have bern reading that fertility rates for dewlaps are pretty low. I may see if next month I can get s ome Toulouse eggs from someone else just to increase her chances of being successful. Thanks again guys. Yoyve been sweet. Now turning my attention to ducklings.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Poor Millie always breaks my heart when they lose them.

My Dewlap Toulouse just started laying today, so there is a good chance of another batch this year. I'm just north east of KC, MO
