New geese!!! Help!!!!

[justinszoo]

I got 2 pair of geese today and they have been laying. The ppl I got them from have been pulling the eggs, but I don't think Im gonna. Anyone have suggestions on letting them hatch them on there own.

What are your questions? This is my first time letting the geese set as well. one week down three to go. C

Give them in a protected, secluded place to lay and incubate their eggs and be careful. The mildest mannered goose will get very protective when they're setting on eggs and caring for young.

What can expect? The lady I got them from said that she had 18 that she sat on last year and only 3 hatched. Is that normal? Is there something I can do to maybe get a better hatch? I dont have a bator, so that is not an option.

Thanks Betsy!! They have a great pen inside the barn with a doggie door to get out into their fenced in area.
