As I'm sitting here typing there are cheeps coming from the incy behind my chair. At least 2 of my goose eggs are (hopefully) about to hatch. I've just upped the humidity, so fingers crossed for the little babies.

Oooooo! I am sharing your excitment. One of my duck eggs has pipped. 2 days early mind you $:-\$ I have 5 ebay eggs and 5 of my own in there so it will be interesting to see if my own eggs hang on til day 28 and if early hatching may be something caused by the post. Any goslings this morning?

Egg-citing!!! Only set mine in new incubator on Friday - so 19 days to go for me. How do you adjust your humidity - is yours automatic? Mine only ready it and I'm not quite sure how I'm going to up it to 65% on hatch day Its a Brinsea octagon 20 advance thingy. Look forward to seeing pics!

Still no babies yet but still cheeping away they are. I upped the humidity by putting a new dishcloth in each reservoir to act as a wick. To increase humidity you need to increase the surface area of the water. You can also adjust the air vent.
