We have that part down solidly my mother in law is constantly checking the humidity on her chicken eggs and has already started with the goose eggs

Sounds great!

Is this your first time to doing goose eggs?

What is the humidity at?

50-60% temp ranging from 99.5-101.degrees farenheight we rotate the eggs 3 times a day and spritz a light mist of water each time we rotate is this ok?

Are the chicken and goose eggs in the same incubator? What 'bator are you using?

For goose eggs-day 7, 14,21,don't turn or candle after day 27. (or is it 29?)

On other post I seen don't rotate on day 25 but either way day 7 can't get here quick enough

We have 2 separate incubators circulated air the chicken eggs are on a rotater while we have been hand turning the goose eggs. We bought the second incubator to use for the bittys to dry off as the others hatched in peace that way they wouldn't get their legs caught or twisted in the rotater her chicken eggs are a week in or more she has already hatched out a dozen so far and they are almost ready to go in their own coop. My step father in law has built one a few more things and it will be ready

We also have a separate lot for our older chickens. She has a white leghorn rooster named Snow man and a black rooster named Pretty Boy along with 18 hens so they lay eggs quite frequently. We also have one male and one female Pekin ducks who stay in the same lot and they all get along very well. We have 3 ducklings we purchased from Rural King who are also awaiting their lot. So a lot going on at our house hold
