Thank you.
I will wait few months then. Intent of the clipping is to avoid her hurting herself, hence it would be pointless to take a risk and hurt her if it is still too early.
Really appreciate the advice.
Thank you for identifying!
It will be very cool if she is a girl.
Thank you for the tip with the wings.
I have clipped ducks before. I assume you just need to clip flight feathers or is there a different procedure for geese?
She is roughly 6months old, at what age would you consider her...
Thanks.
He/she is quiet all day.
Just honks with embedded oinks when it sees me and when I walk away.
I might actually record it and I will share it here.
Yes he has angel wing.
I have tried to correct it when he was younger but I think I was too late.
I kept his wings wrapped for two weeks with little or no progress.
To be honest it could be a week or two.
It is my first goose, hence I was not entirely sure.
Now that the feathers are longer it is more verbose and noticable.
Is 9 weeks too late for correction?
Thanks for guessing.
I have read that experience geese breeders could tell the gender of a Chinese gosling roughly at 6 weeks of age based on knob development and plumage.
I have tried to check the gender when it was roughly one week old but regrettably there was to much fluff...
Gosling hatched around 9pm.
I had a look at it now (10h in the incubator.)
It still have yolk sac attached, or what i think is a yolk sac, it is 1cm big and red.
Should I just leave it in the incubator till it dries out? It is the last bird in the incubator.
Thanks
I was also worried a out the position of the pip. Bottom instead of top of the egg.
I just saw the beak popping out so yeah i might have rung the alarm bell prematurely.
I think it Pipped roughly 8-10h ago.
It is making slow progress.
I probably got worried from googling stuff and from the bird being more vocal, not sure if it is struggling or is this normal?
This is my first time incubating eggs and i am quite nervous.
I am incubating Chinese goose, it is at day 30.
It externally Pipped but at the bottom i will add photo.
Should I do anything in this case?
Goose seems to be very vocal in the past few hours
