How long for Goose eggs?

[houndit]

I had always heard that goose eggs took 28 days like duck eggs. I bought some from someone on eggbid and she said their incubation took 35 to 37 days. I would hate to turn them for to long or stop turning them to soon. Does anyone know how long it actually takes?

That's odd... Most goose eggs take about 30 days to hatch. They say it can range from 28-32, but 30 is generally accepted as the incubation period for most domestic geese... The only waterfowl I know that hatches in 35 days in the muscovy duck.

That is what I thought!

Our geese never took that long...One came in at day 30 but that was really late!

Here's a good info on hatching them:

The misting really makes a big difference. We had our best hatch following these guidelines..

Happy Hatching and have a blessed evening.
