Thank you!! As of now she is still laying eggs to add to her clutch. I wish she would just stop laying and hatch out some babies from the 20 eggs she has in the nest now..
My goose is doing the same thing. She, and her mate, are 3 years old. The man I bought them from last summer said that he got 8 goslings from them that spring. As of today, my goose has layed 22 eggs. The first three froze and busted, so she has 19 in her nest. I hope we get our answer!
My pair of embdens have a nest of 18 eggs. The first three froze and busted. So she has layed 21 eggs. She still hasnt started sitting. Did i get unlucky and end up with a goose that wont hatch her eggs? I just figured that she would have started incubating them already..
So, I am thinking about selling my entire flock and starting over with one breed. Well, I might keep one or two of my favorites.. Anyway, how many of you have done this? How did it work out for you? Any pros and/or cons? I would like to switch to a breed that lays a lot of large eggs, is cold...
