Goose Egg Experiments - Day Zero.

[crazychicknlady]

A couple of weeks ago I stuck two goose eggs into a nesting box in the hen house in case one or two of our hens went broody like last year. C's Goldie Feather did not disappoint. The first two goose eggs, however, did not look to be developing when I candled them the other day. After waiting for Speedy (the female goose) to lay two more eggs, I double checked the eggs in the nesting box and switched them out with the fresher ones.

This is the beginning of the count up to day 27 - when I can expect the geese to be nearly ready to hatch. Of course, hatching can take a couple of days, and these two - if they even make it that far - will probably need help getting out.
