I'm setting this weekend. Still collecting today and tomorrow.

Where do we post how many we are setting?

Right here in this thread when you have set all of your eggs.

Previous HAL's there was a list with participants. I don't know how this one is functioning. Anyone know?

The new system won't let us embed the participant list yet. I'm hoping for an upgrade at some point that will allow it.

Anyone know how long after a pip it takes for a gosling to hatch

 

[Happy Chooks]

No clue. Yorkshire Coop has hatched goslings, hopefully she will chime in.

A long time! I’ve had 24 hours, 48 hours and one even got to about 52. They really do take their time.
Did you mist your eggs with water during incubation?

Well, my Ameraucanas finally started laying... way too close to the deadline to set anything. Yeah, thanks, birdies. <<grumble>>

Maybe I'll stick the one I did get in the incubator anyway. I highly doubt it is fertile, and it's too small for optimal hatch conditions... but y'know. It'd be worth a try.

No I didn’t mist them. I didn’t know if I needed to or not.
