I would like to know the same thing as I'm very interested. I'd love to have some of these geese but buying adults is EXPENSIVE around here. lol.
I've never incubated goose eggs before though.
How long does it take till hatching?
Temperature?
Humidity?
Turn 3x like chickens?
Goose eggs take 28-30 days to hatch. I don't change the temp from what the chicken eggs take. I also don't change humidity. In fact, be careful of too much humidity. Do some google search regarding hatching goose eggs. I'm not an expert and I'm "usually" successful, but not always. In order for the gosling (embryo) to have room to turn in the egg as hatching times approaches, it would need to have "less" humidity so it could "dry down". But PLEASE, do some searching because I'm NOT an expert! I've been incubating them in the Hovabator and hatching them in the bottom of my sportsman incubator. Some people take the eggs OUT of the incubator for 10 minutes or so after the first 15 days so the "drying down" happens. Sometimes I do this, sometimes not!
Yes, I turn manually 3 times a day. They are on their side with one side marked X and the opposite side marked O.
