I have an easter egger hen who is currently glued on the goose nest. She is trying to cover about 8 goose eggs. This is crazy right? I'll need to move her into the main coop to tonight, is it possible she could hatch them? If so I will take some with her and set her up.

The geese could care less.
 
It is possible that she might hatch them. Some hens will quit after 21 days, but most/many will set long enough to hatch goose eggs. I've raised many a brood of ducklings under chicken hens. Go for it.
