Goose eggs

[crj]

Hi, I would like to know how long you can hang onto a goose egg before incubating. I have a bunch but no incubator at the moment. I would love to hatch them but I don't have a way to do that for the moment but I am working on it. Thanks

I have read that you can hold them at about 40 -55* F for up to two weeks but I haven't ever held mine for more than 10 days. Good luck!

Crj what breed of geese are you trying to keep the eggs for?

I wanted just to hatch my gooses eggs. She is an African goose and my Sebbie is the mate. I have 4 geese. Two are Sebastopols which are a pair and I have a Super African and an American Buff. My friend also gave me 2 sebbie eggs.

I have a friend that is coming over and she may help me make a incubator. This should be interesting. I do have chicks in an incubator right now but they won't hatch till the first week of March. I did stick 2 in there from a broody hen which are hatching today. They are polish chickens. Very exciting around here at the moment I do want to hatch those goose eggs though.

You can set your goose eggs in with the chicken eggs you have in the bator they would be fine.
