no geese today!
« on: April 25, 2012, 16:49 »
Well I set some geese eggs in the incy 35 days ago and was told they take between 32 and 35 days to hatch but not seen any signs of life so far! I candled them at 8 days and they were fertile. How long should I leave them before giving up hope of hatching? Thanks Massa.

Sorry I don't know anything about geese. However if hens eggs are anything to go by people have had them hatch at several days after 21 days. Try to be patient - I know it must be very difficult :D

Good luck :)

Have you listened to them? my recently hatched goose was tapping away a couple of days before actually hatching.
