    How long will my goose sit on eggs if they don’t hatch?

    I have a goose sitting on 8 of her own eggs, I don’t know how long she’s been sitting on them but I think they’re overdue. I candled them, sniffed them, and did a float test. I removed 3 eggs I know for sure are dead and put the others back. Will a goose continue to sit on her eggs if they are...

    Hello, My goose laid her first soft egg on 10/26/23 and I have not seen an egg since. They are at the pond most of the day and locked in their pin at night.

    White chinese goose doesn't lay eggs

    Goose egg help please newbie!

    Please help! This is our first “breeding” season for our geese. Mumma laid 6 eggs, we are down to 4. She is incubating them herself, not in an incubator. From what I can understand these are fertile due to the shadow/air sack? Or were at some point. She started sitting on the night of 6th of...

    Movement inside goose egg, day 23? Too early to hatch?

    Got movement in one of my goose eggs day 23….I know it’s too early. I stopped rotating them and put it on the side with the air sack up like the hatching guide recommended. Is it too soon to be expecting a hatch? I’m nervous something is wrong. The air sack looks ready already, too.

    Hi, I'm a 79 yr old partially disabled Vet living north of Seattle on Lake Washington and used to having birds of some kind for most of my life. I recently had a wonderful male goose and lost him. Now I'm looking for another (female since they don't honk as loud?) I'm looking for the best...

    HELP! Canadian Goose

    I found a goose egg on March 30th in the pond half submerged, it was about 45degrees. We took it home and started incubating, miraculously the egg developed and is now fully formed in the shell, no internal pip though.

    Gosling very late dead in shell, why?

    I had a tiny duck egg and a goose egg incubating together since 9/25/17. The duckling hatched on 10/23 but no progress with the goose egg. I thought maybe the incubator temp was too low and it just needed time. This morning it passed the float test but a while ago I started worrying about it...
