Bayyjayy...... Go to the top of the goose area and read the sticky on hatching goose eggs. They are nothing like chicken eggs for hatching, so follow Pete's guide exactly. He has years of experience and his guide is the best advice anyone can have for geese. He uses photos and gives timelines and shows exactly what should be going on. Good luck with your hatch!

I totally agree! I am incubateing goose eggs for the first time and would have been lost without the post by Pete! Its great advice. I did have to read it through a couple times to get all the info and I keep reading through it just to be sure I didnt miss anything. I am on day 12 and so far so good.

Soooooo funny.....I have already printed Pete's guide out! I know that is one man that has a LOT of experience and wonderful advice. So, that is actually the first thing I did, but as I am reading through it, I get a bit overwhelmed and scared. But, it is my new study guide and have been reading and rereading it!!!

I love that you guys are sharing stuff like this with me!!!!

I'm aduckted!
