They hatched them by themselves. Their nests were side by side so they kept taking each others eggs. I was happy with the hatch rate even with egg stealing. I think about 8-10 eggs is about the largest clutch I would recommend.
19 eggs. 1 was infertile. 2 died died just before hatching one died during hatching. 2 died possibly from trampling. That means we have 14 goslings! The are doing quite well. Will try to get a picture today.
Wow! I have 15 goslings that have hatched 2 more eggs are currently hatching and 2 more eggs in the nest. We will see how many goslings the 2 girls hatch! I am thrilled with the hatch rate! If the two hatching make it I would have almost 90% hatch rate. We shall see what happens with the...
Don't know when she will sit. Mine seem to get to about 8 and call it good. I have American Buffs though. Each breed is a little different and each goose is different.
One of my girls has gone broody! Yeah! She has at least 6 eggs and up to 10. I will check to see when she gets up. With cold temps today I will check some day when she is up. My other girl is still laying.
