Goslings and surrogate mom?

[Karoo]

Can I put a couple of newly hatched goslings from incubator in with a goose that is sitting on bad eggs? (It’s been about 40 days

@Pyxis, @Miss Lydia, what do you think?

You can certainly try! I would wait until night, take the eggs from under her, and replace them with the goslings.

Geese are really fantastic parents and are usually happy to adopt goslings even if they didn't hatch them themselves, so hopefully this will go smoothly. One of my pairs adopted some half-grown goslings for me this year.

My goose and gander adopted 3 week old goslings for me.
Let us know how it goes.
