Any guesses on gestation of these eggs???

[tharrell]

We pulled these eggs from a broody goose who keeps kicking out fully developed eggs. Any ideas on how far along they might be? The male is an African, and the females are an african, Chinese, and Toulouse if that helps at all. Thanks!

Looks to me about 5-6 days, but I'm not a goose egg expert.

They're all at different gestational. The early ones I can tell. I want to make sure they get in the hatcher at an appropriate time.

Check the thread here where the guy (I forget his name at the moment) shows the candled eggs day by day so you can match them to yours. I'll try and find it and edit this post with the link if I do. The first two are early on, the middle three are much further along because of the shadowing and air cell development, and the last one is early on.

Thanks, I'll look! That's the exact type of thing I've been looking for

Here's a thread. Not the one I was looking for, but looks like you have eggs that are around the 5-6 day mark, and some that are more around 14-15 days based off this thread? Hope this helps until I can find the right thread! Lol
