Can I use a goose as an incubator for duck eggs?

[FenDruadin]

I just picked up a white chinese goose (and posted about it here a minute ago...) from a waterfowl rescue. I got her solely as a companion for my guardian goose, a toulouse gander. I hadn't given a thought to anything else, but now that I'm looking at information about her, everyone says Chinese geese are great brooders. So my wheels are turning... if she goes broody, can I put duck eggs under her? Of course, I'd love to have some goslings too, but it would be great to know if I can use her as an incubator. Thanks!

Sure can! And she won't even know the difference when they hatch!

I am glad to hear that! I am liking this girl more and more as I learn about her and her breed. I can't wait till I can mix her with the others and then let her roam in the grass and down to the lake with the flock. I hope she & my gander hit it off.

I think that you can!

She'd brood chicken eggs for you too but you'd have to make sure she doesn't take them down to the pond
