So far we have around a dozen goose eggs in the incubator. They are on day 3 now out of 28. Fingers crossed for a good hatch, this is the first time I've ever incubated eggs.
Poultry-wise, I picked up 3 Pekin ducklings and 5 Rhode Island Red chicks earlier this week. Red hens will be kept for egg-laying, the ducks will be raised and processed. I plan on trying to pick up a few more ducks and hopefully some Cornish Rock chicks early next week, if they have them by then.
I still want some quail and a few heritage turkey hens, and I will need to make a decision on whether I want a rooster or not. I'm in no rush for those however. I'm hoping to attend a poultry swap in May, and will see about locating some of these at that time. I may see about some Silkie hens as well, they are excellent setters.
