Just an update: Jazminezoo still has no power

They are also expected to get another 2 inches of rain in the next day or two. This mixed with the melting snow may make it even uglier. Please pray for my friend and her family.

SM, I have been reading the link that Julie gave you.... Pete's goose hatching guide. It says to mist and begin cooling after one week. Cooling period gets longer as you get closer to lockdown. I don't think it matters if you hand or auto turn them. I am hopeful that since african eggs seem to require the same humidity as duck eggs, I won't have to do much different for the goose eggs. I did order a kitchen digital scale yesterday too, but it won't get here until a few days into incubation. I got a pm from a nice lady here offering to sell me a few more african eggs. I may buy some so I can incubate 6 eggs (instead of 3) and double my odds that one or ideally two might hatch.

Julie... I hear ya about getting attached to your eggs. Imagine how attached you are going to be to the goslings that hatch!

Edited: Just bought 3 more african eggs, so will be setting 6 eggs this week. I know... I'm crazy!

I went up to 13.50. But I noticed his second listing he started them at 15.00. I think? He will have another listing right after this, so don't go too high.

What breed would you go with? (Mallard, mallard, mallard...)
