Thanks for the reply, another gosling sufered from the same ailment and they both died. After research I suspected the problem was a niacin deficiency, so added 150mg to 5 litres of water for the next batch of Goslings and they are all growing healthily with no issues.
I have another Chinese goose question -
One of our Muscovy ducks hatched out 5 Chinese goslings a week ago.
Four of them are fine, one however runs crazily around like it is drunk! it falls over, lies on its back and then gets up after a few minutes.It is the same size as the other four...
Many thanks for your reply, I turned the turner off at day 27 but the hatch was unsuccessful due to the Rcom temp / humidity sensor failing.
I have replaced the sensor and all is working fine, I have a new batch of Chinese goose eggs in it so will take your advice on when to stop the turner !
Hi, thanks for the advice, but what I am trying to find out is what is the incubation duration specifically for Chinese geese.
AlI I can find is that geese can range between 28 to 35 days.
As I am on day 25 I thought it wise to see if anyone knew!
Hi, thanks for the great guide it has been very helpful.
I have 6 Chinese goose eggs on day 25 in a RCOM 20 max incubator, when is it best to stop the turner?
I have searched and couldn't find anything definitive for Chinese.
Thanks in advance!
