When do I stop turning Cotton Patch Geese

[tia]

I have cotton patch goose eggs in my incubator which take 30 days to hatch from what I can find out. Today is day 25. I have dropped air cells which worry me a bit. It looks like they are pressing against the air cell. When do I stop turning?

You can stop turning now if you choose. Can you raise the humidity dramatically?

Okay thanks. So If I stop today it will only be one day early. Day 25 out of 30

Turning isn't as critical after the first couple weeks. The benefit turning does for the amniotic and chorion-allantois membranes is pretty well complete by then.

I put them into lockdown. You can see that shadow, so I think they are ready to bust out of there. I'm so excited. Cotton Patch Goslings are so cute!!!

And they're autosexing, right? Looking forward to seeing your new goslings...hope it's a great hatch!

I turned the humidity up when I went into lockdown to 65. No pips but peeked and one has broken through the membrane. I will be sitting on my hands until they hatch. The hatch day is tomorrow, so maybe they will do some pipping over night. Go little goslings!
