I hope the nest was abandoned and you didn't just take an egg from a goose couple, birds do count their eggs you know...

It might be more than chickens 21 days. Ducks are 28 days. By the way - if its is Canadian Geese - you might be in legal trouble : )

their not that kind, and the goose left the nest.
so. Its fine.

Was it a domestic goose or wild? Geese incubate for 28 - 30 days and require a higher humidity than chicks. Another thing that helps them along is to dip the egg in warm (100 degree) water for about 30 seconds every day.

We just hatched our first African Goose about 2 weeks ago and they sure are fun!
