Hi Everyone.
I have heaps of experience hatching and raising Chickens and Ducks. No Problem. I have a friend who called for help from me over the weekend. Her beloved 17 year old goose died suddenly after laying 11 eggs. She hadn't started to sit and laid the 11th egg the morning she died. So Saturday afternoon I arrive home with the prized eggs, make a cup of tea, and franticly try to research "incubating goose eggs". Now I have them on they're side with the temperature set to 37.3. I didn't turn them for the first 24 hours like I had read but now I'm turning 180 degrees 3 times a day. I have no idea how long they take to hatch, when they go into lock down or any thing. So if anyone out there has any handy hints for me to make this a success I would really appreciate it. I would like to be able to get a daughter for my friend to go on with.
Regards, Jay
