what is the best way to incubate brown Chinese goose eggs to maximize hatching

Get a broody chicken and set them under her thats what I do. I have five chinese geese eggs under a hen right now.

Large Fowl lol

 

[mckenzie]

She is just a mixed up bantam chicken but she is large enough to cover all five of the eggs under her.

i dont think its a bantam if it can hold 5 goose eggs under it

Not trying to hijack the thread, but I read somewhere you still have to turn the eggs if they are under a chicken because they are too big. I'm putting a few under a silkie in a couple days. will I need to turn them for her?

 

[mckenzie]

Well she is a small chicken i will post pictures of her on here she is about the size of my cochin bantam hen. I will put a x on all of the eggs and see if she is able to turn them.

My muscovy turned the goose egg she sat on but she is larger than a bantam. I don't know if a bantam could turn over a goose egg.
