goose egg incubation

Hi, I am incubating 9 Sebastopol goose eggs and have been monitoring their weights since setting them originally. I am a little unsure how to proceed at this point as I have eggs with variances with their weight loss. One is at 15% weight loss and is wiggling around like crazy and the air...

Is it possible to dry hatch goose eggs given their size?

I have a goose egg that is on day 28 of incubation. I don't know what breed it is. Parents are white ... So maybe they are Chinese? I saw shadowing inside the egg this morning. Shadowing means it's about to hatch? Is it hatching too soon? Should I make an air hole after the internal pip...

Goose eggs in incubator. Day 22. One egg had a very mild dirty sock smell. Had seen swishing about 10 days ago, but the egg continued to draw down and seemed to be growing and I thought maybe the bird was developing. Found post mentioning a red ring around inside of egg where air sac was...

Hello all! I have 4 beautiful Pilgrim geese, nd this is their first year laying. They started about 9 days ago. I have a serious difference in egg size between them and I'm worried about incubating the smaller eggs. When I originally hatched my 4 girls, their eggs were larger like the ones in...

Got movement in one of my goose eggs day 23….I know it’s too early. I stopped rotating them and put it on the side with the air sack up like the hatching guide recommended. Is it too soon to be expecting a hatch? I’m nervous something is wrong. The air sack looks ready already, too.

First time goose egg incubation :jumpy:jumpy, and I know it’s a bit more complicated….I’ve read up on what to do and such, but had a question about humidity drops overnight. I’ve got 8 brown Chinese eggs in my nurture right 360. We’re almost 24 hours in and I’m preparing for my first turn, but...

Hi everyone, I am currently incubating three sebastopol eggs. They are currently on day 29 and there is no sign of internal pipping (I very very quickly candled them as I had to fill one of the water wells). There does appear to be some drawdown of the air cell sp I am hoping there is still...

Hello, my name is Rhi. Thank you for letting me be part of this community :) I am completely new to incubating eggs. During this UK lockdown I thought I’d try my hand at some Embden goose eggs I got given. The first batch (just two eggs) I unfortunately had no success with. However, my...

I’m wondering if this goose egg looks fertile or not? I’m new to this and am not sure. Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, it’s my first time incubating goose eggs and when I candled one of my eggs today it looks almost perfectly normal like the other one that is closest to hatching, but when I turn it slightly it’s got something that sort of jiggles inside that wasn’t there last candling. Last candling...

Thank you to everyone who gave me advice over the past couple of weeks! It was my first incubation and I'm a born worrier so you're patience was appreciated. I had 4 pilgrim goose eggs shipped and all hatched, and I primarily followed this post's guidance for incubation...

My 4 pilgrim goose eggs air sacs "dipped down" on Monday (3 days ago) and yesterday I noticed the shadowing around the lower edge of the air sac (when it's facing the correct way up). It looks like something pressing up against the air sac membrane trying to break it in little fluttery irregular...

I'm currently incubating 4 pilgrim goose eggs that I ordered online. I had an issue with my scales at the start of incubation (whoops) and so have to disregard my initial weights on arrival unfortunately. Since resuming weighing at Day 9 each egg has lost approx. 1g per day, and I've been...

Hello! I'm incubating a clutch of four Pilgrim goose eggs for the first time. I ordered the eggs online from a breeder so don't know what their storage conditions after laying were like. I'm using a River Systems ET Super 12 Incubator (Semi-Auto) from Brinsea. On the instructions it says to keep...

I have found 4 goose eggs and 1 was already dead. I need help determining if they are still alive and well. I also am curious on what day they will hatch

hi, so a friend had her nesting geese attacked by egg thieving raccoons... the geese are fine, but she tried to relocate the nest and remaining 2 eggs into a coop and they abandoned their eggs and went nuts trying to get out. So I whipped out the incubator and got it heated up and I’ve got them...

Hey guys! So I figured I'd post here to get some advice and start a thread, this might turn into a hatch-a-long so worst case scenario I can always move it (Or gracious mods if you deem it worthy to move please go right ahead). Sooo a little background info for ya'll. I have a pair of...
