You'll have to get that from duck, I haven't hatched any. 2 is more than enough for me, lol

Hatching goose eggs is just like hatching duck eggs

Ady, I would lower that temp to about 99.5 and lower the humidity to about 45-50%. How far along are they, ady?

My incubator is stubborn if I try to lower it it goes to 98.5... It goes through a heat cycle though it sits at 100.8 for a while them moves down to 98.5 and cools for a few. And humidity is down to 50 they are day 4 or 5 lol

No you don't need to cool or spray them yet-too early.
Just keep an eye on the air cell development starting at about day 7-that is what determines if you need to spray them or not.

The air cells on three are very off. They are not a perfect circle. Is that from shipping? My first encounter with this.... One is developing other two I can't tell if they are or not

Yes, that's from shipping. It usually doesn't affect the baby in my experience. If it is completly detached and moves from one end to the other then it is not going to develope.

 

[adyhart1]

Ok good deal they aren't detach thanks justme

Do ya'll have the air cell development chart for Calls?
It shows where they should be at days 7, 14, 21 and 25?
It is really handy.

Great info on this site for hatching Calls-Lou Horton is pretty much a Call duck guru.
