Thank you! It was a very exciting day lol first time we ever hatched anything. Thats good to know! I have only had day old meat king chicks and they so so so different lol We are feeding them duck starter.
What would you use for electrolytes?
Hello, I have 3 day old goslings that hatched last night. They aren't the greatest at walking around yet. They are just scuffing along the brooder. None are deformed or anything. How long does it take them to get up and going? I'm new to day olds and want them to do well. What can I do to help?
That's ok I asked I feel like a million questions and stormed through all the other ones people asked.
They made out great! All 3 hatched. 1 needed a bit of help.
My geese eggs interal pipped on day 26 closer to day 27 I guess. It's been 36 hours now so I made a safety hole in the top. They are still chipping away in there but no pipping still. Is that normal?
Thank you! I checked on them at lunch time. Today is 27 days. They haven't broke into the air sack yet but are trying. They are on lock down and we are waiting to here sounds and keeping the humidity up.
Hello I went to candle them last night at 26 days and one looked like she broke through into the air sack. I put them back and started lock down.
I know they are supposed to be on lockdown for 2 or 3 days so they can break through the shell. Am I to late? Should I make a safety hole tonight if...
Thank you!! I have been looking for the days for this breed everywhere. They still seem to have some growing to do. I am also hoping their air sacks grow more. They are on day 26 today.
Does anyone have any idea what day you should be american buff geese eggs on lock down? I know geese have a wide range depending on their size. I want to keep the humidity down as long as I can because my their air sacks were smaller due to the humidity.
Hello! I posted a few days ago about how to grow air sacks. We are 2 days from lock down and it is getting bigger but not where I want it to be yet. If the air sack isn't big enough when they are ready to hatch is there anything else I can do? Like help them get out before they drowned?
Thank you I took off the water and emptied the water from it tonight
I'm hoping the humidity is lower tomorrow. If not I'll try opening the air vent in it.
Thank you. If I don't add any more water and the humidity doesn't lower tomorrow should I open the little air vent thing? Would that even help? I don't want it to effect the temperature. I'm hoping there's enough time to turn this around where they are a larger breed I'm hoping they hatch around...
Any rough idea how long it will take to get to where it should be? They are geese eggs and are currently showing around day 10 to 15 and today is day 20 being in the incubator.
My eggs are 5 days from lock down and their egg sack is still very small. Should I lower the humidity level for a few days to see if it will get bigger?
