Goose eggs????

At the floor if the incubator it reads 97.8 on top of a goose egg directly under the heater it is over 101 but I have been turning and rotating positions the whole time and the eggs that are hatching have been in a line from heater to non heater side and each morning the move from the front of the line to the back.

The temperature at the top of the egg is what matters in a still air. It should be 101.5 at the top of the eggs.

Ok good to know. What's done is done for now. I will watch better for the next set.

4 little quacks. Pretty sure what happened is the Pekin eggs are just bigger then the other ducks so I got confused. 3 of them look just like their daddy and the 4th is either from a different mama or is showing effects of being premi because she is pale, smaller, and although she absorbed all the yolks she still has the yolksac outside. Its drying up just fine and I'm keeping her with just the other ducklings instead of letting them mingle with the chicks because I was afraid of the chicks pecking the sac until it is dry enough to cut off.

Ok this one has to be a Gosling!

Egg size comparison. Left is from the last quackery. Right is from today's hatchling.

I look forward to seeing them side by side when the next pop hatches and this one moves to the brooder.
