    First time incubating goose eggs. A humidity question Toulouse/Buff American eggs

    Batch 1= 0. There was a dark cloudiness to egg that was swishing about during candling #7 and it had been some days since seeing movement so I broke it open. I dropped it on a log and it popped like it had pressure inside of it. For being day 21 I believe it would have been bigger but this...

    Gizzy laid another egg. And our chicken Rosemary has decided to sit on them? Lol broken chicken. But hey if she goes broody thats fine with me XD It was a struggle to get her to stand up to see if there was a third egg under her. I'll probably go out later with a pencil and mark them since now...

    Sister in law got goslings I guess so Gizzy got the egg back after I found another that was hiding inside the coop. Worst case they go to waste. Best case either Gizzy or a chicken starts going broody. Candled the eggs again. #7 is doing fantastic with development. Can see the actual forming...

    Were already 6 days into incubating 8. It could be the egg from Wednesday. If she lays another well have to see if my sister in law wants to incubate them or we'll let Gizzy the goose have them.. I could have swore though I dug through the straw in there and only found chicken eggs lol.

    Gonna attempt candling tonight. I'm to impatient to wait one more day lol. Anyways good weather today so the birds got to free range. It's strange how docile our goose is being. I thought both males and females became nightmares during breeding season but shes really chilled out since she...

    Saw Gus and Gizzy mating yesterday and today Gizzy was making another nest but still no more eggs. Counting down the days till the first candling. Today during morning feeding Gizzy came up and gave me a nibble on my shirt which is very unusual. During dinner she came over and started eating...

    First time incubating goose eggs. A humidity question Toulouse/Buff American eggs

    I'm realizing a hard lesson. It's hard being patient when it comes to incubating eggs lol Every morning and night I go in. Add water and because for some reason as the rollers turn the eggs the eggs are moving up the rollers to the top so I slide them back down. Still not finding any new goose...

    The incubator is in my parents bathroom. It's the least frequented room in the house. Ontop of that its not used as a smoking room. I checked right as my mother was going to bed and temp was 37.5c and the humidity was 64% I really would like it down lower :( I wish there was a way to turn off...

    Thats our girl Gizzy XD I would love a few more females for our gander Gus but my moms not to keen on Gus anymore since he charges at her. We had a freeze these past two days and today it was finally a bit warmer so I used the hose and filled their kiddie pool and their bathing bowl plus the...

    Sadly none of our 9 girls have gone broody since we got them last year XD I would have given them an egg or two lol I would love our Buff Orpington Rosemary to go broody. Shes such a sweet girl and she was the only chicken to not pick on our goose pair when they were goslings lol. Shes the only...

    Thats a relief. I can't just mist them as our incubator has a alarm because of water level so I have to keep a certain amount in there to keep it quiet lol.

    Were incubating our goose eggs. We were hoping she would lay a few more before we started but its been 3 days so I don't want to risk the others going bad so were doing the first 8. I started the incubation with our incubator we bought two weeks ago. However I wanted to make sure we have the...
