Well the hatch report isn’t so good. Out of the ten eggs, one goose egg hatched. In retrospect, I think that the eggs rolled around when I was moving things around. They aren’t supposed to be turned for the last 3 days. This is really hard on geese because of their long necks. Sad. But the one goose pipped on Sunday and was completely out of the shell on Monday. It looked kind of weak and I was worried about it. Got the good chick starter and fed it some. It wasn’t eating on it’s own. Then decided to get 5 chicks from the hatchery to keep it company and help teach it how to eat, etc. SO now I have 5 Rhode Island Red chicks in with it and it is standing and eating on it’s own and looking MUCH better.
Took the tiller to parts of the garden and planted some lettuce seed today. Now I have SOMETHING planted in the garden. Have several plants ready to transplant, but no place prepared for them yet. Working on a plan. Depends on the weather this weekend and how my back is feeling.
