Two weeks ago a goose laid eggs in my dad's boat and today he took them out because he didnt want his boat to be her nursery. She was still defending them, but he was able to scare her off. Then some other geese and some mallards he says were mounting her. He cracked one open and he said that the yolk was very orange and looked just like a (much larger) fresh hen egg. Researching i saw that eggs take about a month to hatch, and they should be kept at 100F and be turned quite a bit. Has anyone had experience hatching goose eggs? My dad wants them for breakfast, but i would like to try my luck. Is there any chance that they are still alive? If they are, how do i go about hatching them? Another thing is i dont know which species it is, but i know the geese are domestic and dont migrate. They are not canadian geese, and thats about all i know. Heres a pic of one.
