Who is hatching out your goose eggs?

[Guitartists]

You might try changing the post title to... "best early spring LF broody fro Michigan weather"

I wonder if better winter laying breeds tend to go broody earlier in the season and when it's still cold. Maybe favs or Dorkings??? I wish I could help

Surely you will find your answer!

Maybe have a couple of 'other' geese just for this purpose and swap their eggs out for Sebbie eggs??

Yes this is what Holderreads suggested to me.... or even some pet quality sebie hens. That will be the next thing I do.... if the ducks dont cooperate.

I have 12 goose eggs under 3 broody Orpington hens. I like the thought of using other geese to incubate the egg of the rare breeds. I think I will try it and see how it works out. Thanks for the info. I never thought of it either. DUH.

Nope, not yet!

I have two due today or tomorrow and I heard tapping last night!

Last spring, had one that developed to about 3 weeks and died in the shell. This year, I've gone through 12 already.

Luckily, now that Brodee is not eating my eggs anymore, I was able to set a few of my own.
