If you have one add a warm air humidifier to the room. Set it up next to the bator. I know in winter my house is dry and takes work to keep the air humidity up.
I am getting nervous waiting to see if any of my sebbie eggs are even developing. I read past posts abt waiting until day 10 at least, and am only at day 6 now. But nothing seems to be happening. It is making me ill to think I might have spent so much for eggs that may not be fertile or will develop/survive.
If I don't have any luck, I won't be trying the sebbie eggs again. Too expensive of a mistake if it doesn't work out. I just wanted some so bad.
Going through past posts is like being pregnant and hearing everyone else's experiences- some good, but many bad. I saw too many posts where they didn't make it, so I am really feeling depressed about it.
Keep us posted- I need to see a happy ending right about now.
Sharon, never give up. Goose eggs are some of the toughest to hatch. I agree they can be expensive and this is a draw back for particular breeds. It is always a gamble getting them even to day 28. We never know when fully developed goslings will come out to greet us. I hold my breath every time and pray pray pray. I have considered just ordering adult pairs (about the same cost as a dozen good eggs) but that just takes the challenge out of it. I also do not like bringing live birds to the property - that's one reason I hatch.
