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.

when,u get the chance If u may please read my post

I posted to turn eggs 3 times a day. I chose to not spray water on the eggs as my goslings hatched without it.
