In most cases the advice of GooseDragon is sound provided your female is a good broody and you can control environment variables which may put her off or distract her. In the case of the heavier goose breeds (and Im thinking of the Dewlaps) they can be clumsy and not reliable.
A good compromise is the Muscovy and widely used in the UK for fosterering goose eggs. Good results can be achieved by letting the broody female sit for 2 weeks then transferring to the incubator. The 'hard' work is done by the broody in critical early development stage. However if you're like me then you never have a reliable broody ready when you need one
