Turkeys hatch Goose eggs

[Peelneck 61]

No. She'll have been sitting too long

Thanks. Now have 6 healthy poults. Geese are bottom heavy. I am told they lay in January. Can goose eggs then be incubated by same turkey, removing poults?

Oops! I thought first reply/ query did not process. Am new to many things...

Thanks. 6 poults. Now 5 days old. Geese still mating but some bottom heavy. Will turkey be ready to set again? And should poults be removed?

No. She needs a chance to replenish her weight. 5 days isn't nearly

Doesn't any of your geese go broody and sit their own eggs? If not, I would look into an incubator to hatch them.

The experience and knowledge shared in this Place is invaluable. Though I have not been a member, I have read very useful information from this place for a long time. I keep Turkeys and Guinea Fowls, I only recently started keeping Geese. Once my Geese had started laying I gave the eggs To my Turkey and she hatched out some beautiful Goslings. I am expecting some more Goslings this week from another Turkey. Hope this will help someone somewhere.

I was just wondering the same thing about turkeys hatching geese. Thanks for the confirmation. This site is awesome! How many eggs could she set? I have Beltsville small white turkeys.
