Got eight unsexed geese last year in hopes I might be able to breed them! I have four embden geese and four Toulouse geese. I’m pretty sure one of each breed is a male and I have broken some eggs open to find that they were in fact fertilized! The most eggs I’ve found in a day so far has been five so that is reassuring of genders :)

anyways this is probably what we are all here for:

24 goose eggs set to incubate today(3-4-21)! Hopefully they are all fertile and healthy!
I’ve marked them with an “X” on one side and the the date “3-4-21” on the opposite side to help me keep track of when the eggs went in and where they are when I turn them.

I have room in my incubator for maybe seven more goose eggs. So I might add more when I have seven to add? I will mark them differently to keep track of who’s who.
 
@Sheepheart, do you have any pictures of the adult geese? :pop
Ah, not many! I have one from when I brought them home and another when my girl Speck decided to make her nest out side . I’ll try to take another picture of them today!

Here are some more.
The picture of them inside- the embden with the spot on its head is my gander, when we arnt in mating season he happy to try and take on a truck if it comes close to the flock, and the Toulouse next to him with its neck out my other gander, since mating season started in certain he is a he, when not in mating season he’s really only ganderish when you try holding him
