Incubating goose eggs

[Jpurl]

Hello everyone I haven't posted in a while but with duck season starting I've run into a situation, I live on a lake and every year we have mallards wood ducks and Canadian geese that nest on our lake . Right now we have 3 mallards nesting and one set of geese yesterday I didn't see the female goose she usually comes to eat in the evening so today I went to check on her she was nowhere in sight and something broke up her nest two eggs were busted one was still in the nest and two were floating in the water . So long story short I have three goose eggs in the incubater, she had been sitting on the nest for about two weeks, so it's set on 91.5 degrees and 50% humidity I've done this with mallards eggs but I've never done goose eggs so if anyone knows how long I should incubate them or has any advice about when I should start counting down the days since she's been on nest about two weeks l would appreciate it

They incubate at 99°F and around 75-80% humidity in my experience. I actually have 5 in my incubator as well from a goose nesting. They incubate 30-35 days from the time they were set I think.

Thank you I will increase the temp and humidity

Sorry I don't know anything about geese except they can really bite you HARD, even without teeth.
