My pilgrim geese have four eggs in their best we just moved seven duck eggs from our hen that died into the best as well. How many eggs usually do they lay before they start to sit on them? Should i be worried yet?
Hi Camille. My pilgrims set on 3 to 6 eggs, others may be more.My pilgrim geese have four eggs in their best we just moved seven duck eggs from our hen that died into the best as well. How many eggs usually do they lay before they start to sit on them? Should i be worried yet?
Crazy! How many hatched?I've had a hen that has set on 36 eggs before.
Oh, ok. Well, pilgrims tend to be good brooders, but if you leave her with too many eggs, there´s a chance that some or all won´t hatch, as she may not be able to cover all of them well, so that´s down to common sense really.Mainlly if she will sit and if it gets too cold for rhe eggs before she does so.
