Goose Incubation & Hatching Guide - Completed!!!!

Most of the time they rock to get in position. I don't turn humidity up till internal pip as mine have drowned in the eggs and all died just before hatch time.

Not too long now as the next 3 Dewlaps have all internally pipped.  Two are beginning to peep and all of them rythmically 'clicking' as they breathe.  The shadows are well into the air cell having spread from the back, down the sides and into the front.  On candling their beaks can be clearly seen to be moving.  All are in lockdown conditions now as their weight loss is fine /img/smilies/wink.png

The beak of the gosling and other shadows in the air cell can be clearly seen.


Its now 3 days since drawdown of the aircell commenced and the first small shadows could be seen.  Hatching ALWAYS has to follow a process /img/smilies/smile.png

Same here I keep peeking in on the ones I have. O

I have a fully hatched gosling! However, the second egg i heard tapping from is no longer showing any movement, and still no sounds from the third. However the eggs are from a yearling pair early laying, so I'm happy I'm getting them to hatch at all!

Sometimes they rest after internally pipping. It's a lot of stress on them. And sometimes if the humidity is to high they drown in the egg.

Any suggestions for incubation of shipped Sebastopol eggs using Brinsea mini eco advanced??
