Day 29 Toulouse eggs...... when to add a safety hole...
They are cute! So glad they're doing well. I'm starting to think that my geese may have decided to abandon their nest. There has just been too much interference with them. The first poor girl to go broody, made her nest in my goat's hutch. My livestock guardian dog kept stealing her eggs... -

5 out of 6 is a great hatch rate! Did you do the turning cooling and misting every day? I didn't. I turned the eggs and gave a few squirts with the water bottle but I never cooled mine. I just turned my three out in the grass in a pen all night with no heat lamp. They survived! They love... -
Day 29 Toulouse eggs...... when to add a safety hole...
It was actually easy collecting at night, I shined the flashlight in the girl's faces, they couldn't see me. Wow, their feathers on their undersides, and those white butt feathers are amazingly soft and fluffy!!! I had a few of mine (both incubator and broody hatch) look rather bloody too... -

Thanks! #2 hatched last night and #3 is still in the process. After I was warned about how difficult geese are to hatch, I was not optimistic. I'm so surprised and pleased! *UPDATE* All three hatched! -
Day 29 Toulouse eggs...... when to add a safety hole...
Well, I didn't have to wait too long! The shell was pipped, the hole got a little bigger but I figured it wouldn't hatch until tomorrow sometime. I come in from the barn less than an hour later and we have a baby goose in the incubator! That was lightning fast compared to the goose eggs that... -

I've got two out of three eggs just pipped externally this morning. Now for the waiting... :pop First time hatching goose eggs in an incubator too.
