first time hatching goose eggs :o

[IceHax]

I hope I'm as successful as you are!

You will be! Just takes a lot of patience to let those 30 days go by hehehe, plus, it's not over yet for me, they are still coming out

 

[IceHax]

So, hmm he is making very slow progress, should I be helping him get out tomorrow if he still isn't out? It'd be 12 hrs from the start of the unzipping

Last update for tonight,this is the current situation :

aw man I really hope he makes it out of the egg, it'd be so sad if he were to be dead by tomorrow, but maybe it's just my mind overcomplicating things, either way, good night and finger crossed!

He's going to be out by the time you wake up.

Unfortunately he didn't make much progress from last night so I had to help him out. He is now out! Still not standing, but we're getting there.

Its been 6 hours since he got out, he looks healthy! Unfortunately he will be the only one to hatch, the other egg is dead he'll have some friends in a few weeks though, planning on hatching some ducks before the summer

Well I'm glad you helped him out. Too bad for the other egg.

Maybe next time you will try things a little different??

Maybe not spray and cool the eggs.

The thing is none of the eggs died while I was spraying and cooling them, but in the last three days, probably that day i had to move them when there was no electricity freaked them out? Lol, nonetheless I learnt a lot of things from this batch
