Thanks guys!
I was really surprised to hear it talking from the nest box yesterday!

But,
I didn't think the eggs under either of my 2 setting geese were any good, so I stole the eggs from the other goose and put them under the the one that hatched, (about 2 weeks ago!)
I have the incubator ready to put those eggs in when the mama leaves the nest, just incase they both leave their nests to play mama to one baby!
So, I might have more later?

Possible. If they leave the nest try to candle them before you put them into the bator. It will help you know if they are fertile and growing or not.

It will be interesting to see how the 2 mamas gooses raise 1 baby!
I think 1 goose egg in the bator is good, hopefully they will raise that one too!

I have a hen with one chick! I opened the pen to let her out a few days ago, she won't come out! I guess she like the service she gets?

Good service and no danger, what more could she ask for?

It's getting interesting!
The first baby was hatched by my the tufted roman.
She was out grazing today, the baby crawls under the brown chinese until she comes back!
NOW, a baby has hatched uner the brown chinese!
So both of them tried to fit in the tiny nest box?
I pulled out the last of the eggs and the babies and put them where they hopefully won't squish them while trying to be mamas!
The second baby seems kinda weak, I guess I will just have to wait and see how it turns out?

Maybe you need to separate them and give them each a baby so they attach and they don't fight over them and end up hurting them? I don't know, it's just a thought. :idunno
