I've started turning less frequently because they started wobbling so early, still have the humidity between 35% - 45%.Hello, I'm incubating goose eggs for the first time. But I've done a boat load of research! Everything I've read says to go into partial lockdown (stop turning) between day 25 - 27 depending on the breed. And not to raise the humidity until they have internally pipped. Once they have internally pipped raise the humidity to 65% - 75% and go into full lockdown.
I only have one goose egg and today is day 26 and I'll be starting partial lockdown probably tomorrow. It's super nerve-wracking wondering if you're doing everything right. Wishing you luck for a successful hatch.
Probably not a bad idea! Mine just started to slightly wobble yesterday day 25. And it's been very active when I candle it. Different breeds hatch at different days and different eggs within the same breed can hatch earlier or later depending on hatching conditions. Maybe you'll have some early arrivals if they're already wobbling!
They are wobbling quite abit, yes. Candled them last night, no shadowing of air cell yet. It'll be nice if they hatch early.
Maybe you could help me?
I don't think raising the humidity would hurt. I used humidity during lockdown at 55% - 65% for mine, & they hatched fine.
thank you for helping... they are all much calmer now- they were rocking on day 26, almost nothing on day 27, now on day 28 I have one peeping! Some the air cells have gone into a saddle shape?! Was candling to see if others had int pipped, and surpised to see this on underside of the egg!? (they are the big-dip side up) I have never seen this before... but they are moving, active. Went ahead and put small safety holes in the others- seem to have int pipped in odd places- for safety/jic. I plan on leaving them to their progress from here...
