    I have a 35$ cheapo incubator for my first hatch, 10 out of 12 eggs have embryos and I'm on day 18. I've seen reviews of this one with fluffy chicks running around inside that also had ducks in the same batch so I think I'm good but there's no obvious ventilation. Unless the lip around the dome...

    Looking for Fertilized Geese Eggs

    I know it isn’t the typical laying season, but does anyone have any fertilized goose eggs they’d be willing to sell? I want to add 1-2 geese to our flock. We have appropriate accommodations indoors for goslings. TIA!
