I mist our eggs two times a day after first letting them cool down. I literally open the incubator up for aboiut 15 mminutes. Now I ONLY do this system if there are ALL waterfowl in the incubator (stryofoam) ....If they are in the cabinet, I pull the tray out. This has really helped our eggs and I mist heavily, as momma goose will often go to the pool and come back very wet. I used to worry about misting with warm water and I just use tap now BUT what I do differently is Cool off first and then mist because that's momma goose's pattern. When hubby hatches geese eggs, mine are always a better hatch because he's not a big mister. Well lol, he is actually because he's 6 feet talk !
This is the first time I have tried incubation. Should I wait and do geese and chickens separately?
