Goose eggs take between 28 and 35 days to hatch and by the end of the incubation period, the goose will have become run down so it is important to take note of the date that she starts sitting so that you can intervene if she is still sitting after this time on non-viable eggs.
While chicken eggs take 21 days, for example, geese can take between 30 and 35 days and need a higher humidity level. Goslings are also more likely to hatch if the eggs are sprayed with water every day between days 6 and about 25, whereas chicken eggs need to be kept in humid conditions, but dry.
