I have a friend that will have sebbie babies when we get back. They'll be about 2 weeks old but I already said we would buy them so we will have at least 2 babies.

But definitely only one egg progressing. I can't upload a video here but it's on YouTube!

That's great news on your friends sebbies and the video is fab! A beautiful little embryo moving around in there clear as day!
Fingers crossed for you

I'm so excited. I hope this little one grows and hatches.

Can't wait to follow you and TK10's hatches! Can't believe it'll be just a few more days!

Hi!

I've got 6 SQ Grey African eggs in my Brinsea (currently day 4), so I thought I'd pop into your thread (if it's okay with y'all). It's my first time hatching geese, although I have hatched plenty of ducks before, and read through the 'Goose Incubation Guide' article.

I've got temps at 37.5, humidity at 50%, plus I'm cooling and misting once a day (aswell as weighing every few days). Does this sound okay to you guys?

Also, how long does it take for Africans to hatch- from what I've read it varies from breed to breed?

Thanks,
Charlotte

Hi and welcome!! Funny seeing you here
Your schedule for cooling and misting, and temperatures all match mine so hopefully they should be fine! I'll let you know once mine actually hatch haha!
Mine are all still wriggling about in their eggs but no sign of any internal pipping yet...Grr..
As for how long to hatch, African geese are classified as a heavy breed I think, so probably like my Embdens they could take more like the 30-32 days to hatch.
Keep us posted tho, especially when you candle. We love pictures!!

No, I suppose its possible I'm mistaken about what I was seeing. It looks like a triangle shadow going up into the air cell, but not a lot of movement or sounds. I'm not going to worry just yet though.

Also, new ducklings arrived, idealpoultry were awesome and paid for priority shipping so I got them as truly day olds. The difference is already like night and day. The other chicks ate and drank, but these are vigorously drinking and eating, and playing with the older ducks too. I'm just so happy.
