Goose eggs go in lockdown Friday!!! I seem to be losing all my good eggs in lockdown stage and don't know why... Any tips? This is my 1st time hatching in my HovaBator 1588! HELP!! I have worked so hard with these eggs...
UPDATE: 2 goose eggs still cooking and looking good!!! BUT, air cell looks a little bit big! Should I increase humidity a little I have had it at 45%.. Here's some picture's of my Barred Rock & Black Sex Link and my Blue Runner Ducklings! If you can see the yellow chick and if anyone can guess...
Candled goose eggs yesterday! I have a embryo in ALL 4!!! YAY... My RIR eggs look great also! I love my new HovaBator 1588! And here's a look at what is in the brooder! I have no clue the breed of the yellow chick! Other are my Barred Rock and Black Sex Link!
I have only done chicken and duck eggs before! I just got a nice new HovaBator 1588. I need to take a few racks out to fit the huge goose eggs in and I have no clue what I'm doing!!!! Except, Great help from BYC Friend Food!! My eggs are shipped, Air cells have settled 24hrs! Time to get them...
Thanks for your support and help Food! Do I need to set my shipped eggs a certain way for incubation? I saw on here somewhere to not turn them 4 days and a lot of different things! Am I doing it wrong? I do let them settle 24hrs then put them in bator to turn 1-18days!
I buy shipped eggs. This is not going well at all! #1- Air cell looks funny it dips way down on sides #2- What is the best way to incubate shipped eggs? Help me out with this I can't lose another baby!
Thanks Food! Right now I'm just really watching and letting it have plenty of time! I will keep you updated.. Hope soon I will have a good, healthy Sumatra! Just trying to be patient is the problem, LOL!
A little brown and humidity is 76% temp at 100! A part of the shell is gone so I can see it moving but pushing and pushing.. The only hole is the little micro hole from 1st pip
OK, new to BYC and haven't really learned to navigate it yet.. I'm looking for a answer ASAP!!! I have a egg hatching right now I see first pip ON THE WRONG END!!! Is this ok? Am I safe? Do I just let it go? Egg is only on day 19!
Great news!!! I ordered 3 hen & 1 roo Barred Rock. 3 duck & 1 drake Runners. Brooder is in my kitchen (LOL)... I have a 3" deep tote for play time!! All that is around here is wild animals. I live way out in the country! Back yrs ago I hatched a Pekin that we had till it would not get out of...
Can I use a kiddie pool for swimming? Actually, I had to order same chicks but they were out of Blue Swedish so I got Blue Runners. I seen somewhere a tote with a hole cut out for a door. And I seen a med. size dog house. would that work? It said they can fly a little like 2 feet or so. Will...
