breeding Toulouse geese

I've never heard that with domesticated. Mine began mating at 9 months she laid fertile eggs when she began to lay.

Thanks, we have 2 sets of Toulouse, a male and 2 female and a set of one male and female. The 2 females have one nest of about 20 eggs and the second set have 4 eggs. I just wondered how long to wait to see if any hatch. I know it's about a month but it probably took 2 weeks for them to lay the eggs first.

Usually 28 days from when she actually begins to sit 24/7 except to get up to eat drink poop and bathe. Of course that is rough estimate it can be a few days after or before too. Have you tried to candle any of the eggs for signs of life?

I haven't yet as the ganders are pretty protective. I will try tonight by bringing a flashlight with me.
