so, in other words, just leave them to it,for another 3-4 weeks ?

i have 4 fertile goose eggs, this is the 1st time ive tried with geese, is there any major differences between them and chickens, ive looked up on the web, but every one seems to have different ideas, should i spray them with water every day, or just 2-03 times a week?

ive often fed live mealworm to my girls, not to many at a time though, and when theyre free ranging in the garden they eat all sorts whole, from spiders, to worms and centipedes, and the occasional baby mouse, yukkkkkk, and id still give her layers pellets, not just mixed corn, hope shes on the mend...

they are probably to fresh, let them cool completely before peeling and wrap in kithcen towel and roll it along the work top, as if you were making a plasticine sausage, the shell should then peel a whole lot easier x
