    Goose Incubation & Hatching Guide - Completed!!!!

    I tried once to do an internal pipping in one egg at day 30 (the goosling was breeding, we could hear the "click"), nevertheless it start to bleed on the cut, and after a couple of hours it was dead. I also have problems during the hatching stage ( I tried only twice), and never got an external...

    Not all the remaining 3 eggs had the same fortune. One stopped on the 21 day, and other on the 27 during the re-positioning (it seemed one leg was blocked on the yolk sac..) On the end only one of the initial six got to the final stage. On the 27th the goose made the internal pipping but nothing...

    It is now 22 days of incubation. The three survival eggs are running to the final countdown. The air chamber seems ok, and the weigh decrease is nearly reaching 13%. I suppose I should keep with the same humidity level, right?

    News from day 12. The incubation process is going on, but there is already some losses. 2 eggs stooped in the first days, and there is one suspicious. The other 3 are developing normally. Picture 1 gives you the image of those two eggs that stooped. The following graph show the weigh...

    Thanks again. Yes, the incubator is ventilated. The malpositioned eggs did not show the huge increase in the air cell as you showed in your picture. The other two did, but for sure less than 50% of the egg space. I think I will try again with 55% humidity all the incubation time and controlling...

    I did not weight the eggs, unfortunately. But the air cell did show the dip-down aspect in all eggs on the 27th. Only three of the incubate eggs had revealed the huge growth of the air cell after 24 hours (for what I understood is related with the re-positioning of the geese). From those two...

    Thanks for your help. The humidity I choose was based in what is on the web, of course I imagine it may change with the accuracy of the equipment. The incubator I used is pretty exact since is for research (but for other purposes rather than egg incubation) therefore I suppose the humidity on...

    Complete disaster. I made my first artificial goose incubation following this great post explanation. 8 eggs from my one gooses at home. After 1 week, I removed one infertile egg. At day 14, another egg was stopped and was removed. 6 remained until the hatching time when everything went wrong...
