My mom called me because an incubator she once owned became available again, so I bought it, her old hatcher, her old candler and a bunch of turners for 400.00. The incubator can hold over 200 eggs and is 3 shelves high with built in turners and the hatcher is the same size. I thought it was a great bargain. The lady I bought it from told me she hadn't needed to change the temp since she got it from my mom, years ago. Well we plugged it in and no problem. I was planning on putting eggs in on the 11th for an Easter hatch.
I went close to the river yesterday to get 700 LBs of grain and the man who sells it to me had some goose eggs he wasn't planning on doing anything with, so he gave me 7 of them. They went straight in, so they would be ready before Easter.
I know I will have to spray them and that they won't be as easy as chicken eggs, but I really hope I get 3 or 4 goslings. Mom used to do so good with incubation. She would soak duck and goose eggs in warm water a few times during an incubation and we would all think it was so cute when they would suddenly move. I don't even know how old the eggs are.
If anyone has any advice that might help me with any degree of success, I would love hearing it.
