I have him blocked from my thread, so I don't know. Someone told him to put a stuffed animal in there with the gosling?

That is what duck and peafowl people do.

Morning

I think it is, and this is why... He hatched one gosling and it's lonely, so it probably isn't quiet unless it's with him.


-Kathy

Does he not realize that things can easily get smooshed when they are sleeping?

Probably think it won't happen to him.

That's what they all say until it does.

Banti (or anyone else) do you have Sally's humidity links saved? There are humidity questions on the April HAL thread but I'm working from memory, no coffee yet, and I don't have the links saved.

I choose the easier method, keeping a close eye on air cell growth during incubation. You begin by ONLY adding a small amount of water and keep Humidity between 20%-30% and adjusting as you weigh or candle depending on moisture loss. IN SOME AREAS OF THE COUNTRY YOU MAY NOT NEED TO ADD ANY WATER! USE IT AS A TOOL FOR THE CORRECT WEIGHT LOSS IN THE EGG! So if your air cells look too large at each candle period you must add some humidity, too small air cell lower it, and if your weighing you adjust as needed. UNTIL DAY 18 LOCKDOWN,
then stop turning and raise humidity to 65-70%
