We have one more out, and one more well on its way!

The first 24 hours, they are exhausted from breaking out if their shell, so they mostly sleep. i wont expect to see them even try to eat or drink till sometime tomarrow.

What do they eat?I grew up on a farm lol but only had hens we never had any babies,just had them for the eggs.I remember we had Ganders but i was always affraid of them they used to chase us kids around,I remember looking out the door before i stepped outside lol,I was petrified lol.

My husband used to drive transport until he had his back injury,He used to take me to this nice little park where there was all kinds of Geese,Ganders(lol)Swans even little rabbits running around.

I was feeding the geese,This gander came along i was trying to feed it but when it went to grab the bread i would pull my hanf away i did not want to get bit,Well it started to flap its wings i dropped the rest of the bred and walked away lol.

The Chicks eat a special Chick feed.

We have a total of 6 chicks hatched now, with two more on the way.

Sorry thats kind of funny & the same thing happened to me with a HUGE goose. I have no idea what kind it was, but it was big & grey.. That thing chased me all over the place, bit me & finally chased me up a slide.. stupid thing couldn't get me up there... My little sister had to go get our dog to scare the goose off, so I could escape lol

Darn thing had to stand like 4' tall!! I swear!!

[critter crazy]

Well we have 11 hatched now!! Hopefully more o the way.

[Lori Jordan]

Yay!!!

[critter crazy]

we had two late bloomer show up Sat morning!! he he he he he! beter late than never! So a total of 13 chicks! not too bad, just about a 50% hatch, which is the norm for incubator hatching.

And we have 3 duck eggs that have pipped, so hopefully tomarrow we will have baby ducks!
