Gigs I am still dreaming of the farmlife in the future, so not sure what's involved, but are goslings too hard to hatch via incubator?
Storytime...
I love animals, but in that case I would either rather do it myself, or sell her.
I once had a female chi that was SUPER sweet and followed me everywhere no leash needed- bought her at 2 years old to add to my breeding program.
Well she was preg with 1 pup when I bought her unbeknownst to me or the breeder, as she was tiny and had no belly at all.
She delivered a pup 2 days later, and had it in the garage ( my AC/Heated kennel).
I ended up coming to let everyone out, and saw the pup in the crate with her, still in the sac!
I gave it cpr for 20 mins or more, but could tell it was likely a week or so premature.
Chis generally don't look preggo at all until they POP the last cpl weeks.
I let the breeder know, as I owed her a pup from my 1st breeding, just to let her know I would be giving her a rest by skipping her next heat, which was when the breeding was expected.
Anywho, bred her a year later with my male, and she had just 1 pup again, and was an awesome mom, refusing to go out or eat or leave it for 3 days.
Generally , chis being only 2oz to 4 ozs when born, you have to make sure they are gaining ounces daily, or its way bad, cuz they are very hard to bottle feed, and aspirate easily.
Welllll, ups doing fine, popped out as a rare Blue even, and right before I could tell the seller she was in luck she was getn a Blue pup back, and went to take a pic, mom moved the pup from the fluffy whelping "cave" I set up for her to the cold ass floor to lay with it while it ate! Grrrr.
I got them both back where they should be, and next thing I know bad ass has CLIMBED over the doggie gate and run downstairs to the kitchen to me!?
I took her back again, and changed the gate for a higher one.
I checked back and mom and baby were fine.
I went to take a pic later that eve, and she had moved the pup again! This time she dug up the towels in the box, and had them covering the pup, so just it's nose was poking out.
I scolded her and went to uncover the pup....
Only to find just the head
argggghhhh!
OMFG I was livid, disgusted and screamed at her.
I went downstairs to fetch a baggy to pup the head in to bury it ( I always bury my pets, even fish) and in the 2 mins that took I came back to find her shoving the towels back over it.
...so I thought...the head was NO where to be found, and she was gated to a 5ft space ONLY, no where to hide anything. She frickin ATE it....
I could not even LOOK at her the next few months without seething.
I called the seller back, and told her I wasn't keeping her as I had other females to breed, and she had asked that I give her first chance to take her back if I ever needed to rehome her, and boy did I lol.
She met me the same day and was thrilled to have her back.
She called me a few days later to say the dog bit one of her kids ( she weighed 4 lbs) The kid was fine, but she asked if she had her rabies shot...
Of course wtf...I gave her the dates etc and told her I had a 3 yr old at that time and NEVER had she even snapped at him.
Her kid was being rough with her thinking he could like before, so their fault, but no way was I taking that "bitch" back lol.
being Diabetic on $1000 insulin and Rx pills and on sleep meds...{ridiculous update rant switch OFF}
Was wondering how you are
Hard to say by your chart, def confusing given neg opks but Highs on monitor and your cm back n forth.
now I'm diligently checking for pipping then moving to a separate heated area...but so far no pips! I'll be candling the remaining 6 eggs tonight i hope. Hoping they're still ok..i'm going to be bummed if she killed the only hatches yet again -.-
!
later if ya can! Most men seem easy to bed once they drink a bit hehe
