Hatching day!

10 June 2026

We started off this morning with a new gosling! It had got itself out of the shell overnight. With this batch of eggs, I tried a different technique, keeping the humidity lower, and it has been working out much better. The last several egg batches had very poor hatch rates (12%), so we gotta find a way to get these numbers up!

The sunflower has opened up!

Arya and Evan were the only ones healthy enough to go to practice. Here, you can see Arya in the far lane and blue suit. Evan went to Soccer camp instead of swimming. Jarek was recovering from his cold.

Randal wanted his vitamins, and insisted on doing them himself!

Later that evening, we had a second gosling!

It was a pretty relaxed day after the sports activities, but with Meagan and Jarek still under the weather, we took it easy. It’s gotten to that point of the summer where we hide inside from the heat. I continued my work on the bookkeeping project, I have a goodly portion of it sorted, but I am trying to build out some automation to finish the last (and biggest) part of it for me.
