Let's have a gosling hatchalong!

[Miss Lydia]

Another hatching on last night. He was hatched with 2 poults under my turkey hen. This was a dry hatch. I left this goose egg alone and didn't mist it at all during the incubation period.

Congrats!!!

I have two new goslings. I may have some color! Where'd the heck that come from???

Pics after they are dry.

Jean I am no expert on color genetics but if both whites have color in the backround that could be where the color came from.

one may carry color but the others shouldn't

Clarification question -- I just candled my eggs - day 25 - the air cell seems to be a little larger than 3 days ago, but not "dipping" that I can tell. I have read Pete's guide several times and just want to be sure I'm not missing anything. At this point, I think I should keep candeling them until I see the dip -- or an internal pip and then stop turning -- so I'm still turning now, is that correct? thanks for everyones experience and advice.

Hi. Yes keep turning until drawdown which is a natural time when to stop as the egg has a natural balance. Keep daily candling to pinpoint aircell enlargement.

Keep humidity down until pipping is confirmed

Best of luck.
