Well, I've acquired some goose eggs and I was wondering if there is anything special about incubating them, or anything to look out for?
Any suggestions would be helpful.

Here's the master thread on that!

Wish my girls would start laying, but I'm really not ready for that anyway so... Good luck!

Ok, I've got to get me one of these.

We decided to start collecting from some of our chickens today. We've got one egg sitting waiting to be put in the 'bator. Whoot-whoot!

@Kattal00A That is a pretty egg! Hope you get lots more!

Wow! That is so cool!!!

I wish I could see into all my hatching eggs so clearly!!!

 

[LPeaslee]

youre, kidding me...this info is NEW to me! So if they are cold in the hen house, they are still potentially fertile?

I've had eggs hatch that were stored in the fridge for 2 weeks, so yes they may still be viable.

Yes!!! I have a broody hen, and hatching eggs are ordered!!

Trying to get enough eggs for the hatch along to fill my little incubator without spending an insane amount of money is proving to be very difficult. I am going to have to do some quail eggs too if I want it full because they are the only cheap eggs I can find.
