We are a 4-H club in Uncasville, CT, USA. We were gifted with two pair of Sebastopol geese last fall and would like to have our geese hatch the eggs naturally. At night the geese are kept in a 10 X 10' horse stall in my barn. We built two side by side nesting boxes which are along one side of the stall. They have access to pasture daily and we have converted a little tykes turtle sandbox to what we call the "love tub". We have observe our older gander breeding with the younger goose. We just found our second egg in one of the nests yesterday. (One of our dogs found the first egg and brought it to me. But it was cracked). Our night time temps are down in the mid twenties to low thirties in the barn. Should we collect the eggs and store and then put back out to see if one of the geese will go broody? What's the best way to store as far as temperature? We have chickens, and we have one that was very broody last year . Should we try to set some eggs under her? What else? Any help, suggestions, resources would be most appreciated !
