Does anyone know where I can buy goose eggs that have a good hatch rate?

If that came out of your duck she may need a stiz bath. Sure looks like a goose egg doesn't it.

I'm going to see if I get more this week and then incubate them. I have a 1 year old gander who has been making the motions to breed but I've never seen him mount her. Of course I'm not home a lot 5 days a week so see them very little plus I let them on the creek so that's likely where they are breeding if they are.
