New to goose egg incubation

[cmobley]

Candled today down to 2 eggs still alive. Eggs go to lockdown tomorrow evening.

Not hearing anything or seeing any movement yet. Still hopeful the last 2 make it. I figured this morning I would at least see a pip from one egg

Yeah. Be patient, but I've found that goose eggs can be tricky. Hopefully you have a good hatch!

With the help of this site, I got my one goose egg to an external pip this weekend, but because it never loss the required weight during incubation, it did not live to hatch. Was sad.

I have 2 more goose eggs and 2 duck eggs that should go into lockdown on Saturday. I am awaiting my replacement gosling from Metzers with a buddy duck in the mail next week and hopefully I planned the hatch and shipment arrival correctly.

I've had great luck hatching runner duck eggs. Simple and reliable. Here's the bunch that are five days old...

Couldn’t stand it I popped the lid open and gave a quick look I could see life in both eggs still. Humidity never waivered much pretty much staying at 70 for now. Happy to see them both poking at the membrane inside.

Nah I’ll leave that to the kiddos to do. I hated all I could do was move them to the brooder this morning before work and leave. I’m hoping they’re ok today in there.
