Goose breeds are all pretty much the same, 28 days or more incubation.. Incubate at 99.5 degrees F. Turn eggs over 3x a day. Keep water in the reservoir tray, you want humidity around 50%. At lockdown, day 25 stop turning eggs. add wet sponges you want higher humidity. Once the gosling pips the egg open, do not open the incubator until its fully hatched and dry.
