Hoping and praying for a good outcome. Nice to meet you all. I was wondering if anyone has had good luck hatching geese in a cheep incubator clearly meant for chicken eggs?

Welcome to BYC! What incubator are you using? Most incubators are meant for chickens, but can incorporate ducks, geese, and quail eggs too. Good luck with the hatch!

I have owned a lot of incubators over the years. Some that were expensive turned out worthless and cheap. The one I'm using now was the cheapest model of the size I wanted and does a far superior job over all the other incubators I've owned.

If your incubator hold a stable temperature, there is no reason it won't hatch goose eggs. By stable; unchanging throughout the interior. A still air incubator is not a good choice for hatching goose eggs because the temperature can vary quite a bit inside. Does your incubator have a fan to circulate the air? If so, great! It's not so cheap. Humidity is something that can be changed for whatever eggs that are inside with any incubator by adding, reducing water in the reservoir, and by misting.

This is one of mine. As you can see, eggs are stacked, one on top of the other; some have since hatched and what hasn't, are developing.
