goose eggs

Hi, So I am taking a break from chicken egg hatching right now, but I have a female goose who is being broody and sitting on unfertilized eggs. Whenever people come near the fence, she will hiss and peck at the fence. What should I do? (I do not have any pictures right now; I will upload them...

Hi, I am incubating 9 Sebastopol goose eggs and have been monitoring their weights since setting them originally. I am a little unsure how to proceed at this point as I have eggs with variances with their weight loss. One is at 15% weight loss and is wiggling around like crazy and the air...

Just when I thought the laying season (and my incubating season) might be nearing an end, the girls began laying again. 😮 Are your geese still laying, too? If so, what breed do you have and when do they typically stop for the season? Mine are Pilgrims and last year, they stopped at the...

My three geese are all sitting on a nest of about 14. They have been sitting a long time. I didn’t write down the exact date they started sitting, but it feels like too long. So today, I went and took one egg to candle it. It’s hard to see very much detail bc the shell is so thick, but it looked...

I’ve had about three goose eggs that have started foaming over the time I’ve been incubating and two that look mucky inside, but have not foamed or started oozing. I know it usually means the egg was laid with bacteria in the egg that grows and kills the chick, but was there nothing at all I...

I have 3 Goose eggs with that I began incubating on the 11th of April. It was a complete experiment, something to keep me occupied during quarantine- I wasn't sure of the age of the eggs or if they were fertilised. And the Brinsea is the only incubator I have, not ideal for goose eggs I know but...

I have found 4 goose eggs and 1 was already dead. I need help determining if they are still alive and well. I also am curious on what day they will hatch

My boyfriend's parents have 3 hens and 1 has been broody for maybe a month or so now. They said I can get some eggs for her, and the types of eggs we're looking for is geese, guineas, chickens, pheasants, quail, or peafowl eggs that are hatching eggs for the broody mama. :)

Hello, New member to the site but it's always been a great resource for researching advice. Hoping someone has some tips for me now. I have raised ducks for many years but I am new to geese, and one of my pair of young Brown African geese, Lucy-Goosey, seems to have become broody and is...

Hey guys! So I figured I'd post here to get some advice and start a thread, this might turn into a hatch-a-long so worst case scenario I can always move it (Or gracious mods if you deem it worthy to move please go right ahead). Sooo a little background info for ya'll. I have a pair of...

Looking for fertile goose eggs on the Florida area or willing to ship.

We got our first goose eggs today and right on time!! Three big beautiful eggs! But two of the eggs had the "bullseye" on them when we cracked them open!? :confused: I know that with chicken eggs this means they are fertile! We are supposed to have 4 female geese but our crossbeak goose...

Hi everyone! I need some help with my goose eggs. This is my geese’s first year laying (white embden) and I know that the fertility and chance to hatch is really low but I tried it out anyway and put them in my incubator. I put 8 eggs in first and none of the eggs were older than two weeks. 2...

Looking for 2-3 dozen. I'm in central IL but I would be willing to drive and pick them up. Pied parents are preferred to solids but willing to consider any! I would just rather avoid pure whites. Also looking for a few goose hatching eggs so if you have geese as well maybe we could strike a...

im not even sure if I have a broody hen, so I’m working on seeing if I do, but let’s say I do. I understand the process but I live in Maine and it’s still frosty out here! We had one bird not make it back to the coop one night and she froze! So sad! So I’m not sure about separating the broody...

I finally got my first duck egg and I'm preparing to do a taste test and I'm proposing others join in. I plan to cook a duck egg and a chicken egg the same way and compare the two. They both have the exact same diet, so it will be interesting to see, side by side, exactly how different they...

Hi! I am looking for any kind of goose eggs to hatch this spring. I've done this before and I have all of the supplies, except for the eggs. This will be my third year hatching geese and I've fell in love with every breed I've hatched and am open to any breed available. I would very much prefer...

We are a 4-H club in Uncasville, CT, USA. We were gifted with two pair of Sebastopol geese last fall and would like to have our geese hatch the eggs naturally. At night the geese are kept in a 10 X 10' horse stall in my barn. We built two side by side nesting boxes which are along one side of...

where would a goose lay

Hi! I am having problems with my goose egg not sure breed think its a toulouse mix. At day 26 it started to chirp and move the egg around. At day 28 the air sack appeared to be gone when candling but it was still chirping and moving the egg. Now it is day 30 and it isn't chirping or moving the...
