going to test 3 african goose eggs, what do i need to do??

[Ducklove334]

I got tired of looking at the four eggs in the nest house, so I took em out, since the geese havn't layed in almost a week,

how long do goose eggs take to hatch??

are the temp and humidity the same as ducks??


what else do i need to know?

For incubation
It takes 22-30 days to hatch
Temp should be 99.5
wet bulb reading 88

lay on their sides on wire in bottom of incubator , turn 3 to 4 times a day


Hatcher
day 27 stop turning
98.5 temp
90-94 wet bulb reading

you are very welcome !

sry forgot to tell you , it helps to take the tray if you have them in a turner , take out starting on day 4 or 5 mist them with a lil warm warter and let cool for about 15 mins on your counter or wherever.

Hope that helps and Happy Hatching !

well, I was going to til I noticed four nice little holes in the eggs that I just happened to see,

, I guess the rat I've been seeing made a visit

The incubation time for geese is more around 28 to 33 days, usually 30.
