Call Ducks Finally Hatched

I just candelled the eggs,

chickens: I saw 9 moving, and 1 I wasn't sure about, and I thought 11 were infertile, but I cracked them open, and 2 were still alive, I saw their hearts moving, it was very sad, I didn't think they were alive :'(

Duck: he is moving quite a bit :)

Geese: 5 are growing, and 3 were infertile
 
Hi, all! Congrats on all the recent hatchings - there are some adorable pics posted! I had a broody bantam hen that kept trying to steal eggs so I gave her a few call eggs. I went out to check on everyone this morning and she has 3 little Snowy ducklings. I am so excited! I wonder how confused she is about her babies? :D

I have heard geese are hard to hatch. What kind do you have? Sorry about the eggs. Must be heart wrenching.

So sorry about the chicks! What breed of goose? Have you hatched goose eggs before?

It was :'( I couldn't believe it it was so sad, and white embdem, I thought I'd give it a try :)

Thanks and white embdem, no, but I have been researching quite a bit, and I have been keeping humidity around 35%, and they are on an automatic turner in a brinsea octagon 20, and I have been spraying them and cooling them for 15 minutes everyday since day 4, they are on day 7 today :)
