So today when I brought my chicks to their new home, the farm, our friend told us that he spooked away a goose off her nest and when he looked in the nest there were two eggs:
He said if i wanted to try to incubate them i could. But i don't know how long ago they were layed or even if they are fertilized. He said he saw a female and male goose but not sure if they are. So here i am with 2 eggs, won't fit into my turner...
how many times should i turn these eggs since they are bigger? I dont think it matters between small and big eggs.. or am i wrong?
anything i should know about incubating goose eggs? i have only done chicken.
*we left the eggs in the nest until after lunch in hope that the mother would return... she did not return so we took the eggs in hope to incubate them if they are fertile.
Ehow says to wash the eggs using a damp cloth that is warmer then the eggs. I remember with chicken eggs they say no:
