Novital Incubator help please!!!
never hatched chicken, but hatched ducks & geese (need higher humidity than chicks in general) in novital 20 too. yes the fan of this machine makes it really really dry (and hot). if i were you, i'd read different advice online (BYC, FAO, university studies, etc.) and find the compromise...- hihk

Do geese have ears?
Hi there, I know it's a silly question... But yesterday it just came across my mind that I don't actually know if geese have ears. If they do, where are the ears located? If they don't, how can they hear? I'm sure they can hear me (or at least feel the vibration when I talk) because they... -

Still needing advice. Please read!
My first duck egg was 2 days overdue and I was all nervous and stuff. But when I kinda gave up, he cracked the shell one morning!! It took him forever (actually "only" 1.5 days later) to hatch. I didn't help him at all although I really wanted to, instead, I sang him songs. Whenever he heard me... -

This is an African Goose, right?
Try mixing the feed with some water (consistence like baby food), then she might eat that. Our ducks and geese won't eat dry food. And yes geese love grass and lots of water (to drink, clean, play, mate, etc.) :-) -

Internal pip 26 hours ago no external pip & a big OOPS :o(
It happened to me on day 7, the thermometer showed 107 °F in the morning!!! B4 I went to bed it was 99.5 °F. I thought I killed them all... That night I set the temp a bit lower, guess what? It showed 90 °F the next morning!!! But then I got 100% hatch a couple of days ago :-) So don't worry... -

Goslings & duckling hatch VIDEO :-)
Dear all, my first hatch was a total success (100%) :-D I've made a video which I'd like to share with you guys. It's got the kind of visual info which beginers need, well at least that's what I wanted so badly during the last 4 weeks ;-) Be quick, youtube might block it anytime due to...
