Goose eggs day 32 no pip

[Sarahs-zoo]

Hi everyone,

This is my first try with goose eggs in the incubator. I'm at day 32 and still no internal pip. There are only 2 of the 6 left. I have read that it can take up to 36 days? I'm anxious!!

My humidity is ranging from 70 up to 90 depending on how often I change the damp cloth. Is this ok? Is there anything else I can do?

geese take upto 35 day

humidity might be a tad high

75% is ideal

Thanks for the info. I will try to keep the humidity at about that level

Today I lost one of the 2 eggs. I noticed that the air space was getting larger and there was a suspicious smell on opening the bator. Sure enough after I punctured a wee hole in the air space shell it was stinky and gooey. I opened to discover he'd died. Interesting to look at tho. The yolk sack was pretty big but otherwise he looked well formed. Head was at the wrong end too.
