I have goose eggs in with my ducks. So humidity is pretty high. (Like 60%) Is this likely to cause problems? I set them together so the ducks should be hatching a couple days before the geese.
So we are neighbors! I keep a couple guns. People will literally take things out of the backyard or out from under my house. :/ I've lost 2 lawnmowers, 3 weed whackers, 2 chairs, and a bike.

So... What do I need to know about raising geese? I have 2 African Dewlap eggs going in the incubator this weekend. I have ducks currently. But these will be my first geese.
I used a store bought chicken egg the other day for DH... and it felt all wrong. It was wimpy and dull. Don't know how people do it.
I had my "breakfast fried rice" for dinner last night... which is a spicy fried rice with bacon... and topped with a duck egg.
Bte... WA chicken people are the best. After all my ducklings died in the shell, someone on the FB group loaned me a Brinsea Mini so my next hatch should be a lot better. Far less room for human error. That LG just was too hard to get the perfect temp and humidity
I'm not sure I can stick the reptile thermometer/hygrometer in a glass of water... But I can try. I kept the temp at 102 and humidity is supposedly 60%. Which is too low but I can't seem to get it up. I was told to check for internal pipping but I don't know how...
I got a pair for a gift as a child. I loved them. The boy got out of the hutch and ran away like that month. But my girl (Bubbles... a NZW) lived a long, very fat and spoiled, life in my care. So sometimes it works out. But I was also not 5. I was 10.
How does anyone NOT just sit in front of the incubator all day on day 28? I could just stare at eggs all day. I saw one wiggle and now I'm all anxious!
Btw... Made the mistake of taking my 4 year old to TSC. He fell in love with all the little bantam chicks. And I am horribly tempted to get him...
Seems I ought to bag some up and offer them for trade. I'm planning to do that with some black walnut starts. When it stops raining, I'm planning to cut some. It's a beautiful tree and is pretty popular with locals. But if anyone would like some here, please just let me know.
