    Goose Incubation & Hatching Guide - Completed!!!!

    I have a fully hatched gosling! However, the second egg i heard tapping from is no longer showing any movement, and still no sounds from the third. However the eggs are from a yearling pair early laying, so I'm happy I'm getting them to hatch at all!

    Well with the unseasonably warm weather we've had lately here in michigan, my goose laid her first egg yesterday! She and her mate were born memorial day of last year. She did make her nest in some brush that is in their pen area, and used leaves and some grass for the nest. I was wondering when...
