Thanks

Ummmm, I tossed out the chicken incubator already. It reminded me of my baby chicks. My mom has the gosling incubator. I will probably take a break for now. I will build a new one when I am ready.

Yes, the membrane is attached to him. Okay, I will let my mom know. My mom has 2 geese already (the parents), so I hope she knows how to take care of it. Probably better survival rate than staying with me.

Thank you all for the replies. I hatched 5 baby silkies and they all die within a week. I am too depressed to keep the gosling. Leaving the gosling with my mom. Update pic of the little guy.

Don't know what breed. I took 2 eggs from my mom's geese, but only one hatched. The other one never developed. I just left it there for companionship.

The egg just hatched 2 hrs ago. Now what? Does he need water? Do I need to dip his beak in the water? What should I do now?

I interesting, so delawares are the late hatchers. But all hatch before 25 days?

Wow! Pictures. Pictures! Yiiiipppppppppyyyy

I am giving it a week to hatch. We will see.......

You should see something by now. Either your temperature is too low, no development, or infertile. Here is a website that i go by: http://chat.allotment.org/index.php?topic=73884.0

So male to female ratio is not 50/50? Crossing my fingers for a hatch and for a hen.

No, not moving at all.

Go by day, starting with first day of incubation as day 1

Today would be day 18, but the black mass hasn't taken up the whole pointed end yet. Is it dead?

Depending on what day it is. 5-7 days, you should see some veins. At day 10, you will know for sure if developing or not.
