My finger slipped on ebay again this time I bought goose eggs.
OH just shook his head, then asked if we should think about getting a field.

Big whoops there then
How long do you have to incubate them for?
My girls found their way into my heart and now they nest there -

could have been worse could have been ostrich eggs
that would have to be some field for them
then you would have to find someone brave enough to sit on them to incubate them heheheheeLast edited by stephenwithap; 04-03-2009, 12:01 AM.dont take for granted that you hold dear

I will be looking today before he changes his mindOriginally posted by lynda66 View Posti hope you took him up on his very kind offer
28 days, so they will be in with the chickens eggs for the last week of there time, and then 3 weeks after the chickens hatch we should have goslings.Originally posted by MaureenHall View PostBig whoops there then How long do you have to incubate them for?Comment

Goose eggs can take up to 5 weeks (and quite possibly more), so don't give up too soon, and remember they need higher humidity (like duck eggs). The plus side is that they only need post-hatching heat for about 10 days, unless the weather is VERY cold.Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.Comment

Eeeek... I'm a bit scared of geese....
having been attacked by them several times visiting a friend a few years back. Saying 'boo' to them did Not work! They were better than guard dogs

Geese are used to guard some of the whisky distilleries in Scotland - coz they can't be fobbed off with a bit of bone like dogs canOriginally posted by SarzWix View PostEeeek...

Happy Gardening,

Well the eggs have arrived and are resting next to the incubator.
I am so excited I could burst, and to be honest a little nervous as well.
So count down starts tomorrow and hopefully hatch day will be when my daughter and grandaughter visit for easter.Comment

Good luck with them It'll be really interesting to see some little goslings

DUCK eggs take 28 days (about) Muscovy Ducks a bit longer. Goose eggs definitely need MORE than 28 days, and best of my memory is 35ish.Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.Comment

Well the eggs went in last night (really late) so the countdown begins tonight.
I hope they are fertile and hatch as I can't afford to buy them as adults at the mo so fingers crossed
