You need to increase the humidity. Damp sponges work very well. I don't mix hatching eggs of different ages, but some people do.

Hopefully they will continue to grow and hatch.

For those who have more than goose breed I have a question about what is said that Chinese geese are noisy. What is meant by "noisy", more talkative and/or louder than other geese breeds? Or is it myth?

I cannot imagine Chinese being any louder than my Embden and Toulouse ganders but maybe they are. I have heard Chinese called the watch dogs of the goose breed.
