first time hatching goslings

[hesketh]

hi all

i'm new to this website and new to hatching goslings

i bought 2 gosling eggs on the 03/05/2020

i rested them for a day and then started incubating them on the 04/05/2020

they both are embden geese eggs and both weighed 166g pre incubation.

turning 4 times a day

i've read from various sources they have to loose around 15% of there laid weight which is 141g

i have got the eggs at a constant of 37.5c and a humidity 30-35% (first 3 days) and then raised to 40-45%

i was loosing too much weight too fast with lower humidity hence the reason why i raised it a little.

i've just weighed the eggs and they weight 159g where they should weight approx 161g

should i increase the humidity even more ?

also when should i start to mist the eggs ?

many thanks

Hass
