I have been hatching 5 embden eggs for my cousin and it's my first time hatching goose eggs. I have had some success with hatching chickens but am a complete novice with waterfowl. They are in a small forced air incubator, humidity currently between 77-80%, temp 37.2, stopped turning 3 days ago but continued cooling & misting as I have been doing since day 4. Today is day 30. Yesterday 2 of the eggs were very obviously wobbling about and when I quickly candled all the eggs I could see movement in all of them but there has been absolutely no progress since. Am I doing something wrong? Please help if possible, I really don't want to let my cousin down and I'd love to learn how to do this correctly...thanks in advance.

Hello FoxHall! I've only hatched chickens, but if the thermometer reads just a little off, it can take a few extra days. I've heard of chickens hatching up to 5 days late. Wishing you a good hatch.
