Good Morning!--Chat thread

Good morning

I'm debating the incubator thing this morning!

I have 2 geese setting infertile eggs and 3 should be fertile eggs sitting here on the counter.
I found a place I can order a few sexed goslings to give to the ones setting.
At first Hubby said NO, but now he wants to go fishing again this weekend!
He tried to tell me if he went fishing, we would NOT go to his mothers for Easter!
I told him it was going to cost him the goslings to get me to go to his mothers, so now it's going to cost him the goslings to go fishing!
Now, I'm just trying to decide what I want to do!
It all sounds like work!

Why are the fertile eggs on the counter instead of under the geese?

The fertile eggs are from my Tufted Romans that refuse to stay in the pen! Bruiser has been picking them up, so I have been bringing them in when I find them.
The gander won't have anything to do with the other 2 females.
I don't want to give them the fertile ones, they have a mess of eggs in one nest, I don't know if they are setting or still laying ?

They have just started setting? You could mark the ones that you have on the counter, with pencil, and put them under them. Then you would know which ones they are, just a thought.

I thought of that!
I would have to take out a lot of eggs first.
I was thinking if I order some goslings, I can get them each their own man? But, if they think they are their kids, will they pair up with them next year?

 

[Farmer Kitty]

I don't know if they would pair up with them next year or not. Maybe with the one the other raised?

 

[Farmer Kitty]

Sad news! The BIL and family that were suppose to leave AZ on Tuesday are having to delay their visit for 3 weeks! And the will be here a shorter time than originally planned.
