Quote: I don't know personally, we don't have hard water here. If in doubt, I would buy bottled water. Thats a good question towards folks that do spray their eggs.
If you are candling your egg every day, the more you handle it, the less likely its going to hatch. A quick turn is no biggie. I usually candle around day 10, remove any duds, then candle at lockdown. Everyone does things differently, thats how I do it and what works for me.
Keep in mind, a mother goose turns eggs with her feet, or bill. She keeps them underneath her while she turns them. Once a day, she leaves the nest to eat, drink, relieve herself and then returns. I keep food and water very close to a broody goose so she is more inclined to eat. There is usually little time the eggs are not continually covered.

and I don't cool them

You can cool them if you want but I don't cool my eggs at all so it's your own choice really.

Its a type of salt. Yo can find it in the pharmacy isles just about anywhere. Commonly used for foot soaks for people lol.

Okay. Does it have to be epsom salt or does table salt work? And is it sometimes sold as bath salt?
