@atmaclean you need to get in there and go down into the bedding yes they do cover them. I have no idea where the other 4 could be if they aren't down in the bedding unless a predator slipped in and took them [Rats] for one.My Toulouse goose was setting on 7 eggs for the past 3 weeks and I noticed her out and about for a long time today so I went to check her nest and only see 3 eggs!!?? Any idea what could have happened?? Did I read on here that they bury the eggs? I'm afraid she has just quit setting in them for some reason. I also have hens who lay every day so not sure how her eggs would have disappeared. She had them in another coop all by herself and her gander is always on patrol. We would have definitely have heard about it if anything out of the ordinary had happened. It is really puzzling me and also why she would stop setting in the three that are still there?? I was going to candlenthem this weekend to see if they were viable
Has she been off her nest all day or just long enough to eat and bath? Candling would be a good idea too.
