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.
Eggs hatch after 25 to 30 days of incubation. The young, called goslings, can walk, swim, and feed within 24 hours. Both parents (especially the gander) vigorously defend the goslings until they are able to fly, which is at about ten weeks. The young geese remain with their family group for about one year.f the nest or eggs are destroyed, geese often re-nest in or near the first nest. Canada geese can raise one clutch per year. Longevity and Mortality Predators of Canada geese and their eggs include humans, coyotes, raccoons, skunks, bobcats, and foxes, as well as gulls, eagles, crows, ravens, and magpies.
