Help! ELSA is laying eggs :)

[jimjan]

So Elsa laid an egg this morning! But she is not sitting on it. I read she will lay one every other day for a while before she starts laying on them. Shoukd i get an incubator? And what kind?

Congratulations on getting an egg.
No, you don’t need an incubator. First, she should lay for at least a month (in many of our opinions) to get out the kinks of cycle, size and general quality. It just makes it more likely you’ll get healthy babies.
As for her sitting on the eggs, that’s only if she’s broody. When she’s ready, she will do it.

So i should consume this one as most likely its not viable? I think its her first egg ever.

It might be viable, but not as big (baby needs room to grow) as her eggs will be in a few weeks.
I can best express it as a 12-year-old giving birth versus a 23-year-old. Waiting makes sense.

do you have a gander? if not, I would bother to get an incubator.
congrats on the egg!

Goose eggs make awesome omelets too.

Yes i ate it this morning....move over chickens...

I REALLY want some Goslings though.

Give her a bit of time, once she lays 8-9 she'll most likely take matters into her own wings and begin to sit on them.
