HELP! I am currently incubating Embden geese eggs. My first batch is what I would refer to as an epic fail as I was left with five eggs and out of five four have died. One is left but it is day number 35. Yesterday I candled the remaining egg and there was movement within the shell. All goslings were completely formed with egg yolks not absorbed.... egg yolks was either starting to rot or was intact (not absorbed). Two eggs almost hatched, one internally piped then put its head back down and died, the other was in a bad position and could not raise its head. I've got a second batch started in another incubator (hovabator). Humidity here in the house is at 35%. Incubator is at 50% humidity and 100.5 degrees (still air). I read thru Pete's post, but everyone seems to have different recommendations for humidity and temp throughout incubation. Would really appreciate any tips! Are all geese the same humidity and temp requirement? These are embden geese eggs. Eggs have been rotated three times a day and cooled and misted once a day since day 12. Thanks for any help!
