    Goose Egg Incubation!!!

    Alright so update for everyone. The four eggs I put in the incubator originally were not fertile at all. One of them had a meat spot on it, we cracked all of them after candling because they were clearer than clear. The semi good news? Sophie is still laying! Susan (my roommate) went out to...

    Goose Egg Incubation!!!

    Okie dokie, sounds like a plan! Till then I'll keep them steady at 30%. According to my thermometer (which has a humidity gauge and will let you know what the high and low are for both humidity and temp), the highest it was today was 33% and the lowest was 29% so far.

    Goose Egg Incubation!!!

    Okay! After accidentally spiking the humidity last night when I sprayed them after putting them in the incubator... (oops! It's no big deal I fixed it, it just took a bit). I'm happy to report that the incubator is remaining at a steady 30% humidity! I also checked to see if Sophie had laid...

    Goose Egg Incubation!!!

    I honestly have no idea! :confused: Getting the humidity set up in the Brinsea! Going to aim at 30% and we'll go from there!:fl Let's hope this works!

    Goose Egg Incubation!!!

    Okay! I'll start at 30% then! I'm assuming if the weight loss needs to be more the humidity will need to go up, right?

    Goose Egg Incubation!!!

    Okay so it's snowing like the Dickens and I still have yet to go outside and do my egg check for the day. Yesterday Sophie didn't lay a blessed thing, and I checked twice! I'm giving her today to lay and if I don't find anything the 4 eggs are going in the incubator tonight. That being said...

    Goose Egg Incubation!!!

    Yeeeaaahh I might just try moving the bin. Only problem is it's full of feed now! Ugh. I'll get the S.O. to give me a hand. I need more muscles! :gig EDIT: Cleaned, Weighed, and Labeled today's egg! 176 grams (At first I was worried that it was a little small but after searching what average...

    Goose Egg Incubation!!!

    Ohhh okay. *phew* that makes me feel a lot better. I've never had any issues with anybody having any weird symptoms. I had a small coccidia 2 years ago when I first started but since they got over that they've been absolutely fine. The only thing that I'm slightly worried about is the fact...

    Goose Egg Incubation!!!

    Oh dear. It's like my S.O. and spiders. Oof. Well I hope it doesn't last forever, irrational fears are some of the worst and hardest things to get rid of or at least calm down. Well I just came in from checking the birds, got another goose egg from Sophie! She wasn't trying to sit on this one...

    Goose Egg Incubation!!!

    Of course I forgot about how many weeks were in 28 days! :he Welp now I feel silly. It's alright though! And of course I'd get stuck with one that isn't such a nice neat number! I was honestly wondering if they were all going to be the same weight when I started weighing them. (I also double...

    Goose Egg Incubation!!!

    Thank you so much for explaining this Pyxis I seriously appreciate it! (And you're right it is indeed much simpler than I thought!) Okay so 28 grams over 28 days (because alas my scale isn't that specific last I checked). 7 grams every week. Now are we counting that as a week is 4 days? Or are...

    Goose Egg Incubation!!!

    Oh wow okay! I'll be sure to go out and start checking daily till I know she's laid more or not. If she actually starts sitting I'll just keep an eye on her and the eggs and make sure they're okay. If she winds up not sitting on them I'll just bring them in and put them in the Brinsea. I can...

    Goose Egg Incubation!!!

    Oh thank you so much! Math has never been my strong suit lol, I'm sure it'll get easier once I learn it but I just don't know where to start. And my fingers are crossed for you! Hopefully yours don't go till it's waaay warmer. I'm still severely surprised that she even laid any. Whole clutch...

    Goose Egg Incubation!!!

    Hey guys! So I figured I'd post here to get some advice and start a thread, this might turn into a hatch-a-long so worst case scenario I can always move it (Or gracious mods if you deem it worthy to move please go right ahead). Sooo a little background info for ya'll. I have a pair of...
