Goose Egg Hatch-A-Long ROUND2

[Sheepheart]

So first attempt didn’t yield anything but stinky eggs
First attempt

so I decided that I would try again when one of the geese that my lone gander mates with quite often starts laying and at long last one of them laid her first egg today! I caught her making a nest today and snuck over and saw an egg in it. I havnt taken this egg yet. As I want to make sure I store it correctly for hatching.

Last time I kept the eggs on a shelf in the garage for about ten days I think?
I think this may have been to long to keep hatching eggs and I think the garage might have gotten to cold, which may have contributed to none hatching last time.
Being spring now should the garage be warm enough to keep the eggs until I put them in the incubator?
And what is the suggested day to put the collected eggs in the incubator?
Haha I really would like to hatch out at least one gosling this time!

Went to collect the egg tonight and there were three!
Oops, two may have gotten to cold during the previous nights.
I also found a soft shelled egg in front of their stall tonight, so hopefully the currently unidentified layer is also one of my ganders favorites.

Totally forgot to update this, I have three goose eggs started in the incubator. My girl who had been laying out on her own moved into the barn with her laying so I’m not sure what eggs are hers and what eggs are the others, so I just have three.

Update?

Update?

Well, this is day three on the incubator. I did candle them this morning and didn’t see to much, but I’ll candle them again when I have less light coming in the room.

 

[Sheepheart]

well here are the promises pictures, quality is kinda poor, sorry. But as far as I can tell notice happening yet, I think there may be something happening with the egg in the second pic. But I can’t really tell. I might have to find a stronger more focused light to candle with

 

[casportpony]

Maybe wait until day 5 or 7 to candle again.

Wow I’ve been bad about updating this. So I put a another set of three eggs in on the 24th. And here’s candled pics of both sets

I fear that I may not be getting any goslings out of this round either. Set one doesn’t look any different from previous candlings and set two im not seeing any development yet.
