I was given some duck and goose eggs to hatch. I believe these are the parents.

Will someone please tell me the breed

Look like Embden geese to me. where are they looks like an apartment complex?

Yes, apartment complex. They have me 4 goose eggs and 14 duck eggs. They told me that the Ducks were big and white.

Apparently neither of us can tell the difference between a duck and goose.

I've only ever raised or hatched chickens

Well those 3 are white Embden geese. lol Pekins get big but not that big. Do these geese live at this complex and no one minds?

The apartment manager gave them to me. They stocked the pond a few years ago and are now over ran with them

So what are your plans for them? or do you not live at the complex? Good luck with your hatching. yep looks like you have 4 goose eggs the rest duck eggs. What day are they on?

I don't know my plans yet. I live on 40 acres of pasture and woods with a creek. I'll either set up an artificial watering hole for them or find a deep place in the creek. Hawks are a big problem here so they will need to be completely fenced in.

I think they are on somewhere around day 8. I've had them for 6 days

Thanks for the link
