stagered hatching ?

[Lenka]

Is it normal for one or 2 eggs to hatch and then radio silence from other eggs in the incubator? The other eggs *should* be good, but this is my first time incubating goose eggs. The first 2 hatched on day 29/30 and now we are on day 34...

If all eggs were started at the same time , this is unusual unless the incubator heats unevenly or unless the mother started setting and other eggs were added to her nest prior to your removing them.
