what i said:
my first ever hatch failed today baby goose pipped but then it just kinda stopped the temperture was good humidity was nearly 87% but it just kinda gave up and then this green goo stuff came out i phoned the lady that i had the egg off she told me it wasnt a good sign and to pick away carefully a little bit of shell but the goslling had alreagy died she said it must have been too weak to hatch and the shell was way thick it was way thicker than any shell i have even seen on a goose egg so frm 6 eggs 1 damaged on arrival and one that i tryed to save with wax that had small cracks never started 4 started 1 quit about day 4 one about day 14 and one during lockdown about day 27 and then no hatch after all that i was even misting it evey 2 hours to make sure the humidity stayed just right.
some of you will say im sad but i buried the little gozzy in the garden and am now feeling extremely depressed
even nowing i have 4 silkie eggs doing alright cant cheer me up and even though DH wasnt very happy at the thought of me hatching my own eggs (has a fear of birds he admitted too today) he has even said how sorry he is and he will take me to get some more goose eggs to try again but dont know if i could face it again
