First time hatching goose eggs! how to hatch goose eggs with success and failure!

In this video i go through how to incubate goose eggs from start to finish, i bought geese eggs from Ebay and basically got scammed as only 3 of 12 eggs were fertile! I also only had one of the 3 make it through to hatch so ill chalk this one up as an all round #fail . Hatching goose eggs or any other bird eegs is usually straghtforward so not quite sure what could have happened for the 2 to stop developing in the egg around half way through so let me know below if u have an idea why.

Come on people hit the like. A contributor goes to the trouble to film edit and post their video and all you have to do is hit the thumbs up to show some appreciation. I have had some problems with hatching eggs from eBay. The issue for me is the posting from England to Ireland. The probably take a bit too much of battering even though they're well pack.

[@FieldtoFarm_UK]

🙌🙌 Nice one 👍 I don't think I'll be buying ebay eggs again unless its summer temps, think the cold weather when I ordered them has hindered the process at many points from when they were laid

yeap ... battering is definitely an issue, took 10 goose eggs from UK to Tanzania, bought from local farmer, had just 2 geese, male & female, pretty sure all eggs fertile, split them to 2 luggages, 4 in 1, 6 in the other, airline lost one luggage, went to china instead of tanzania, from not lost one took 4 eggs and started immediately, out of 4 - 3 guys were born, took 5 days to deliver lost luggage, when open out of 6 was 1 visibly cracked - tossed it, started to hatch, after 4 days 1 started to smell, found another crack - tossed it, result ? - no guys came out of remaining 4 which is really shame because eggs were just PERFECT, so big YES for BATTERING being a reason of not successful hatching, aand in my case - huge temperature differences for sure

mist with distilled water as minerals can make shell too hard and plug up pores blocking oxygen =suffocation. Also goose eggs have much better success rate with no fans , in a still air incubator.

[@IanMukewa]

Goose eggs are very sensitive and should not be touched with dirty or sweaty hands, the bacteria gets through the pores... Also avoid jarring them the first few days.

[@ciasarah376]

Did you take them out after 8 days and spray and cool them down for 10 minutes once a day?

[@outlawnation9383]

Thank you so much, this is my first year with goslings

[@birdsexporter388]

Did you mist and cool the eggs ?

[@DanLigma-g8n]

I let the goose set on them for 20 ish days then just take them off her nest let her do the work….canadian geese get a little mad when you raid their nest but they get over it and lay more

[@Mr.DreamBoy685]

Nice..hatching eggs sir..beautiful.

[@falishashepherd9850]

I don't know if you did or not but if you buy eggs you should leave them to get to room temperature it helps not having g such a dramatic temperature change

I had heard some people say that the incubator needs to be opened to vent heat for a half hour a day during the process. Does this really turn out into success or failure if you do or don't do it? And do you think rotating the eggs makes a difference in hatching rates? (And do you rotate at what frequency if that's true?) I had a lot of bad luck with incubators. Literally all failed but the incubator was cheap and from Asia. So I'm interested in learning from others. I'm also having to start over because I found out an a$$hat family member had been opening my incubator at night because he didn't want us to have ducklings. So now I have to redo everything I thought had been the problems previously. One trick you can do is have 2 thermometers inside the incubator. You put 1 in the middle and then float the other one around the outside edges to guage heat dissipation. ... Another trick you can try is actually having a large duck hatch your poultry of other species. People do this all the time but mostly for chickenand duck egg swapping. I can't guarantee it'd work with goose eggs, but it should. There have been cases of geese taking care of ducklings in goose books. (I haven't done that myself.) In theory you can interchange what the hen is, for various eggs... ALTHOUGH you have to factor in that goose eggs have different number of days to hatch than ducks so you probably couldn't mix eggs. They'd probably have to be either all duck eggs or all goose eggs because of the number of hatch days being too different.

under no circumstances open the hatchery when the first geese are hatching. loss of moisture, which is very important at the end. according to the video I saw, even at the beginning after 10 days, the egg did not show that it was fertilized. the correct temperature is 37.7 and humidity 55-60%. only the last 3 days the humidity has increased to 75-80%. . remember.. never take the first hatchlings from the hatchery, because it can hurt the others, they will suffocate.

[@MaxRebelliousPirate91]

You see more when you candle them with all the lights off... That way you'll see earlier on what's happening

[@ShirleyMayor-o3j]

I've hatched them before under a bantam. I turned them daily and also I had to roll the eggs daily in warm water so they got really wet, then popped them back under the bantam. Success. Maybe using the incubator to hatch them, take them out and roll them in warm water daily too. They need a lot more moisture or they dry out. Good luck.

[@AkoTaky]

I forgot to write, after 8 days the eggs must be cooled and dewed with warm water. 35.C. it cools down in 9 days for 5 minutes and every day 2 minutes are added to those five minutes. 5 minutes, the next day 7 minutes, the next day 9 minutes, the next day 11 minutes. and so on. when at the end of the 26th day, the eggs will be cooled for 45 minutes. cooling is enough to open the hatchery and leave it like that, after cooling, mist it with water - sprinkler

[@thebestofnations]

Have you tried dry hatching?

[@FieldtoFarm_UK]

No what's that?

[@thebestofnations]

@@FieldtoFarm_UK so dry hatching is when you add no water at all through out the entire incubation process. I’m in the UK also, and this method gave me the best success rate with my chickens. I’m doing a batch of duck eggs with this method now too. A lot of people kill their developing chicks in the last few days by drowning them through an increase of humidity. Chickens have also been known to hatch ducklings. And I don’t see any of my hens sitting with spray bottles and extra water in the last days of hatching. Honestly, try the dry hatch process.

[@daynaocean]

Have you had success since? We are about to try for the 1st time.

[@mikecrandall2742]

Not geese its goose jtty

[@nvdstoo]

How do you exactly hatch the goose eggs with tenperature humide and to cool the eggs and spray with water.

[@ciasarah376]

After 8 days you take them out of the incubator spray them with a spray bottle then let cool for 10 minutes it mimics the female goose getting off the nest and going for a swim and eating.

[@daynaocean]

​@sarah joseph do you do this daily, after 8 days?

[@ciasarah376]

@@daynaocean Yes till lock down day 30.
