Homemade incubator hatchalong

View attachment 1371502 View attachment 1371498 View attachment 1371496 Hi all! 9 days ago I put 6 shipped goose eggs into a homemade incubator (a 10 gallon tank with a straw nest, a bowl of water, a thermometer, a thermometer/hygrometer, a small fan, a ceramic heat emitter bulb in an adjustable dome, and a bunch of bubble wrap to keep heat in....it's been a lot steadier than I expected). Eggs 2 and 3 had to be tossed (to prevent smelly disasters). As of yesterday, Egg 1 isn't showing signs of developing or being bad (tomorrow I'll know for sure).

And Eggs 4, 5, and 6 are growing! I weighed them when they arrived and on day 7...they're doing good in that way. As you can see, Egg 5 had some air cell correcting to do....it's in the fat end now, instead of down on the side. Hopefully at least 1 makes it to hatching.

Air cells are suppose to be in the fat end. not on the side.

I know. It's at the fat end now. Not really sure how it got down the side in the first place, but I'm just going to go ahead and blame shipping lol.

I read it backwards...not once but twice. My bad!
