How's it doing? Great save!
Those air cells look good! You're doing a great job with these!
It should have enough oxygen in the air cell for the first 24 hours. Keep checking for the internal pip and then if it does not make a external pip after 24 hours you can make a tiny safety hole for...
Good luck!! I didn't know you set again but I came onto this thread because I found a pic that might be helpful. I will check in and see how it's going!
Good, I'm so glad you're going to try again! Don't hesitate to post throughout the incubation. Weighing the eggs is the most accurate way to determine if they are loosing enough moisture. Just make sure you weigh each egg on the day it was laid or collected because they will begin to loose...
The reason I think humidity is because from the pictures the air cells looks very small to me. Right before internal pip the air cell should dramatically grow and take up almost 2/3 of the egg or at least half. It doesn't look nearly that big in the pics. You really can't go by a certain number...
I'm so sorry that this happened!! First, I just want to say that I have never hatched geese. But I do successfully hatch chickens, peafowl, quails and currently trying my hand at ducks. From your pictures I do think I know what went wrong. I believe that your humidity was to high. Having your...
Just be careful if the eggs are not washed that you don't totally wipe the bloom off. Maybe some olive oil?
I've never even gotten a detached air cell to develop let alone hatch! But the fact that they are growing is a miracle in itself! I'm hoping that maybe 1 or 2 will reattach once the...
I'm incubating shipped call duck eggs, at the moment. My first time with ducks. I'm on day 6. The air cells were all detached on arrival but 4 are growing. And two started 1 & 2 days after the first two. I'm beyond excited!
Wow that's crazy! Can you take a pic?
Shipping can do a lot of damage to eggs. I would give them till day 10 before deciding if they are viable or not. I just wanted to make a suggestion, it sounds like you're doing a good job with the shipped but it's best to tilt them an odd number of times a day. Either 5 or 7. This way each...
Yes. Please know that I have not hatched goose but I do hatch chickens and peafowl. First, larger fowl like goose take longer to make progress. I would not recommend assisting any sooner then 24-36 hours after pip. Second, when I get pips in the wrong place such as the pointy end or underside, I...
