You're very welcome and pleased it was useful. Hopefully Rob and I will get down to updating our theories that we have modified this year for even better results with the more difficult to hatch eggs. We're just so darn busy at the moment with the children as they're still only 7 and 3 plus...

If you candle and notice the marked drop down before internal pipping happens then that's the time. If you miss that then no harm done and stop when internally pipped.

Hi. I think mine is called an LED Egglux but also mains operated with adapter. Here's a picture of it and in use which might help you.

A standard good quality pen torch should be adequate although mine is a LED mains candler. Pete

LittleNell If you can give me a link to the Pilgrim Forum so I know where you're wanting to use the information please. The main guide was published last year in one of the UK Poultry Magazines and in the USA so I have to protect the diagrams and pictures. Thanks Pete

Hi Tim. A little baffling but I'll try to give you a few suggestions some of which are simple but so important. 1. Collect eggs daily, wash in cold running water or better still use an egg disinfectant. 2. STORE EGGS IN COOL AIRY ROOM AND TURN DAILY. 3. DO NOT STORE EGGS OVER 10 DAYS. 4...

Just to add further about the reproduction of diagrams and text from the Incubation Guide. I did actually PM the person responsible and received back a very humble apology and the person's extremely upset that it offended me and made me so angry. Heavens above I'm not wanting to upset the...

Just a tip for everyone but I do have more Incubation related threads and articles on the Sebastopol Geese Lovers Forum. This includes details of our NEW REVISED INCUBATION TECHNIQUES. I have done this since some of my work was reproduced on BYC on another forum without my permission...

Firstly you need to keep this egg in lockdown conditions with a high humidity and hopefully you'll be able to monitor it there. These goslings are not able to internally pip and this stage is bypassed as they go straight to external pipping. They usually need at least 24 to 36 hours after...

Well I'll cross everything and just hope at the moment

Hi Marty Thanks again for the kind words. I really hope you get some lovely goslings after that terrible accident last year. You really deserve an exceptional good run of luck. We too are keeping quiet as we hope for our first Buffs from our Dewlux line!!!

Oh good I'm pleased you've found it so useful. I hope it helps you get success in your incubation. Pete ;)

Well done so far as thats a 66% pip rate. You can now stop cooling, turning or misting the pipped eggs. Keep them in hatcher in a high humidity. The remaing 4 may have 1 or 2 late internal pippers. Time to be patient as you wait for rotation and hatching. Pleased to hear you found the hatching...

If the incubator has precise humidity control then add water to the resevoir. If your incubatorhas atray then a small saucer at a time then check your humiditybefore inreasing surface area. Small plastic plantsaucers are ideal.

Hii. The easiest way is to weigh the new laid egg and go for a target of 15% for simplicity. For example a 200gm egg should lose approx 30gm. Thats a rough guide of 7.5gms a week. As a back up a visual assessment of the aircell is also informative. Im sure I've doneother threads that detail...

Thank you for the kind comments. Best of luck to you .
