Heh. Right now, they've got more than would fit under a trio of broody hens. But my 'scovie has definately decided that she is going to set, so my plan is to check the goose eggs for fertility & shift some under the 'Scovie. (If I recall correctly, that's about 5 goose eggs, yes?)
I'm also thinking that leaving the whole nest under the geese isn't going to work.
My plans are driven by the thought that I won't be here to watch the incubator, so pulling all the eggs & putting them in the 'bator isn't an option.
However...if I was to start up the 'bator, then put eggs in it, and re-check fertility in a week, then put viable eggs under a bird (after removing any non-viable eggs that a bird was sitting on)...to me, this sounds like a slightly better plan than randomly picking eggs pull from the nest.
Thoughts?
