Last year my goose laid 14 eggs. I tried to hatch them in my incubator and failed. So this year I decided to let her handle it. Well, so far she's laid 9 eggs. It looks like she's setting on them at night but gets off all day to roam around the yard. I would think the first couple probably froze since it was pretty cold when she first started laying.
Do these eggs have any shot at hatching, being as they're set on half the time and ignored the rest of the time? I thought she'd wait till she'd laid them all and THEN start setting, but apparently she didn't read that book.
I'm sitting on my hands at this point. I really want to snatch them up and incubate them but I've already proven I can't do any better than she can, lol. Can somebody reassure me she knows what she's doing?
