Hello! I’ve scanned some threads here but no one has seemed to address this particular question.
I have 5 Sebastopol goose eggs that I just placed in an incubator. Some sources say to turn the first 4 to 6 days, some say TO NOT. Specifically sources geared toward Sebastopol's not just any goose. There’s also tons of mixed info for the cooling and misting duration. Is there any official or trusted guide? As of right now mine are on day one and I am not turning them.

Additionally I have the brinsea ovation and the turners go side to side. I’m concerned that this won’t be the 180 turn the goose eggs need. Any advice is appreciated.

Hi if you look up pete's hatching guide under waterfowl here it's pretty good. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/goose-incubation-hatching-guide-completed.491013/

I hatch sebbies myself, and they are DIFFICULT.

I personally lay them on their side in my GQF and start turning them 180 degrees 2x late on day 2. I also cool down twice a day 10-15 mins. The first few days are the most important for the eggs to develop is why most say don't touch for 6 days etc. I turn on the auto tilter/turners and always do two turns a day so they get a full turn and don't get deformed/stuck on an egg shell or early out/die.
