Please help!!! Lock down with goose eggs.

[insmokesimage]

Well, I have 2 goose eggs that I put in the bator at the same time as my chicken eggs. They are both growing well but what should I do when I put the bator into lock down this Friday! If the eggs should be turned at least 3 times a day what will happen to my goose eggs if they are not turned. Can I still open the bator and turn the goose eggs or should I just leave them and hope for the best.

I do not have another bator. This is my first time doing this and didn't think about the lock down stage when placing my goose eggs. Please help!

I would have to say to either get a second bator, or put the chicken eggs on lockdown and hope for the best for the goose eggs... Whatever you decide to do, I wish you the best of luck.

Not ever opening the incubator when the eggs are on "lockdown" is overrated IMO. I frequently open my hatcher to add eggs. I have also candled eggs in there when I have concerns. I wouldn't take the top off but just lift it and turn the eggs and then close it.

Same here. Lock down I think is over rated. I have 3 dozen eggs in the hatching tray and another 10 dozen on the top 2 trays that I turn twice a day. This morning my three dozens began hatching
