First time hatching goose egg needs help

[whitecra]

I have a goose egg that I got yesterday. I was wondering how many days until you can see the veins or baby in it? I can usally tell on a chicken egg at 3 or 4 days and wondered if that was about the same. Also what do I need to do different then I would with a chicken egg? Thanks for any help you can give me.

I can usually start to see veins around 7 days but I have a VERY bright light. With the light I used to use I couldn't see much other than a shadow. Those shells are so thick. Good luck!

Thanks. Do I just do the samething I would do with a chicken egg or is there something else I need to do for them?

The humidity levels are higher for goose eggs. Here's a few site's I've been looking at because I've got my pair of geese sitting on eggs and would also like to incubate them myself.

Hope this helps.
