goose egg hatching

I’ve only ever had experience with hatching via incubator, so I’m new to having a goose that’s laying her own clutch! I figured i should let her do the work, but wanted to know if there’s any important advice that I need to know if I’m letting my goose hatch her own 🥺 she’s only about 10 months...

I know it isn’t the typical laying season, but does anyone have any fertilized goose eggs they’d be willing to sell? I want to add 1-2 geese to our flock. We have appropriate accommodations indoors for goslings. TIA!

Hi there. I have 2 goose eggs incubating. My first incubating eggs ever. I know - what a choice for a first time. Lol They have had their air cells draw down, shadowing in the air cell the last couple of days. They have grown well and everything seems okay but (pun intended) I haven't hears a...

Thank you to everyone who gave me advice over the past couple of weeks! It was my first incubation and I'm a born worrier so you're patience was appreciated. I had 4 pilgrim goose eggs shipped and all hatched, and I primarily followed this post's guidance for incubation...

My 4 pilgrim goose eggs air sacs "dipped down" on Monday (3 days ago) and yesterday I noticed the shadowing around the lower edge of the air sac (when it's facing the correct way up). It looks like something pressing up against the air sac membrane trying to break it in little fluttery irregular...
