I have 3 goose eggs from my pair in the incubator, they are at day 14. Up until 3 days ago the temperature and humidity were perfect, I just have some water in the middle section.
But, I seem to have lost control of the humidity. The water in the middle now makes it go too high, if I take it out it goes too low. I have resorted to putting a damp piece of kitchen towel in and out as required, but of course, when I leave it overnight, or if I go out it dries up and the humidity goes too low again.
I candeled the eggs 3 days ago and was thrilled to actually see a heartbeat and movement in them all. I candeled again last night and now I think they may have died. How long should I leave it before I give up on these eggs? Can the eggs withstand these variations and stay viable?
What am I doing wrong?
If I lose these I can take some more from the nest as Geraldine is still laying.
