How do I do this properly? I've heard stories of people encountering great problems when they do this, but I have no other choice. I'm hatching geese and two little guys are rolling a bit already, especially when I talk to them. But the others aren't due for another week. I want to move them to the hatcher after they internally pip. The hatcher will be at about 97-98F as I've heard this is best for hatching geese. Lower temperatures prevent them from sticking to the egg, along with high humidity. So I'm thinking 75-85% humidity and 97.5-98.5F in the hatcher. I already have the temperature stabilized, as the incubator itself has been running for over two weeks. Would it be dangerous to move the eggs? What are some things I should know to assure I don't hurt them?

Thank you.
