Hey, this is one of the best goose videos I've seen on here. Been raising chickens, ducks and sometimes turkeys for 20 yrs. This is my first goose attempt.
Oh my how precious that clip is at the end with your baby playing in the mud puddle with the babies. I've raised two goslings in the past and it's truly a blessing to experience it all. They have such huge personalities!❤
Thank you for the video I’m planning to put my goose eggs in the bator this month My first year hatching them. I have hatched lots of ducklings One thing I wanted to add is I put a rubber shelf liner in the bottom of my bator. This helps the eggs from rolling and the birds from slipping when freshly hatched
This is amazing to watch. I have a 2month old male and female geese. I wouldn't call them goslings anymore because they have grown so big 😁. The only problem I have with them is they don't like to go home at night by themselves. I always have to carry them myself unlike chicken who always find their way home, and it's a bit frustrating at times. Please I have two questions. 1. What month should I expect them to mate? 2. Are all the eggs you hatched from one goose?
Hi! Thank you for your comment. My flock are 4-2 year's old and I still walk them to bed every night. I have 5 females and 1 gander. Chinese Geese can handle a larger goose:gander ratio. 1. Females will come into lay around 9 months old, so around that time frame they will begin mating. 2. We have 5 females, so I gather their eggs and add them to the incubator ever Friday. Hope this helps!
Hi!! Lock down day 32. Heard pecking day 29 Today at day 32 nothing is happening? Should I worry?? Should I candle light it? Thank you very worried ❤️🙏🏻
Hi. how do u manage to archieve incubating geese eggs in the incubator? I tried to do so several times but once they start pipping I found the gosling died inside the eggs before they fully hatched. Do you have any advise?
You started with 21 eggs, I’m not sure if they were all duds or not then you ended the video showing 11 is that how many you were able to hatch all together from that batch
Hi! Thank you for your comment. This video started in January and finished filming in April. We had some fertility struggles since it was still winter and we had no open water for mating. 0 made it in the first batch because of this. After that batch however, we have been hatching goslings weekly
Great video! But you really should wash your eggs off before putting them in the incubator. Water fowl eggs should always be washed off before putting them into the incubator to avoid introducing bacteria into the incubator. Not the same as under the goose. I've been doing this for 50 years. I wash the eggs under a stream of warm water (not cold not hot). I have the original directions with my round HovaBator and it states waterfowl eggs should be washed. I also have a degree in Poultry Science from UGA. I also had a duck farm in Concord, NC and we washed our eggs (20,000 eggs a day). You read that right, 20,000 a day. I have raised mallards and washed off their eggs by moving the egg under a small warm stream of clean water gently wiping off the dirt with your fingers and then drying with a clean paper towel. After the eggs are dry, I wipe them from top to bottom with a cotton ball damp with 90% rubbing alcohol. Let air dry. They dry very quickly. Don't soak them with the alcohol. Just a quick wipe from top to bottom all over the egg. I know this is controversial but it really works to improve your hatch and health of birds. Try a dozen and you'll see. I would consistently get 100% to hatch. Year after year, batch after batch. I'm retired now. But I was given a goose egg and couldn't remember if it was 32 days or 30 incubation. Also, got eight duck eggs. All were filthy dirty so I washed them. All developing and doing great on day 8 for the goose egg and 5 for the duck eggs. I started the goose egg early so it might hatch the same as the duck eggs. And always wash hands before turning eggs.

Hi! Thank you for your comment. Geese are a huge favourite of ours, we love to help make others have a positive experience as well 😊
how many temperature and humidity for goose

Hi, thank you for your comment! That video is still my favourite 🥰 the goslings in that video are now our mamas that we get all our eggs from.
They r very cute, both the goslings and Jo 😊
that hand carved rifle stock in the background looks good!
Thank you! My husband built it.
Thank you for the video
I’m planning to put my goose eggs in the bator this month
My first year hatching them. I have hatched lots of ducklings
One thing I wanted to add is I put a rubber shelf liner in the bottom of my bator. This helps the eggs from rolling and the birds from slipping when freshly hatched
That's great!!

Please I have two questions.
1. What month should I expect them to mate?

@@farmerjohomesteading Yes thanks
What about hatching under hen,do we have to mist and cool them as well from day 5 to 25-26 ?
Hi! No, if a mama is hatching them you do not need to worry about them.
Hi!! Lock down day 32. Heard pecking day 29 Today at day 32 nothing is happening? Should I worry?? Should I candle light it? Thank you very worried ❤️🙏🏻
I typically candle at that point to see if they have started. If they appear dead I will dissect
Ive hatched 2 to 3 hundred chickens this year around 50 ducks and i never sprayed it with water i have an auto egg turner holds 180 eggs
That's great!
What incubator do you recommend for hatching sebastopol geese eggs?
Hi! Hovabators are great because they are tall and give the babies more room when they hatch.
You leave the eggs in the incubator for 2 days without touching them and then 5 days of turning them so you start the cooling off/misting at day 8?
Hi! Thank you for your comment. I leave them for 24 hours, then start turning, I start the cooling and misting on day 5
Hi. how do u manage to archieve incubating geese eggs in the incubator? I tried to do so several times but once they start pipping I found the gosling died inside the eggs before they fully hatched. Do you have any advise?
Hi! Thank you for your comment. We do have another video on hatching goose eggs with more details on the misting and cooling 😊

Hi! This video is a few years old already. We do wash and sanitize our eggs now. Thank you for your comment!
Dont wash your eggs, will get lower hatching rate. Use hydrogen peroxide to raise humidity or wash your eggs.
