One of my 2 goose eggs in the incubator has started pipping, not due till Sunday though. Fingers crossed all goes well.

Thanks, I have hatched many times from the incubator but this waiting is just the pits. The crack is getting bigger but still a long way to go.

The gosling that started yesterday is definately going to appear today, we can now see it's beak coming out. The second egg now has the smallest of breaks in the shell so still has a long way to go.

The one gosling is now out of his/her shell and sleeping now.

Photos as soon as you can, James. Can you train geese not to attack people? I had a very bad scare when I was 4 and I think they sense I am frightened of them.

I will try and post some pics later, had a busy day. The whole on the other egg is getting bigger but doubt we shall see it hatch today. I have heard of people that have very tame geese, so I guess it is possible. My mum is terrified of hens, infact all birds, since she was attacked by a cockerel when she was young too.
