My goose has hijacked some bantam chicken eggs and is now sitting on them. She seems to be doing a good job and is turning them twice a day I think.
She does get off and walk round for a while every day but then goes back. Shall I leave her to incubate them?
She is huge and the eggs are tiny being barbe d'uccle eggs.
They should be fertile as I have a cockerel with the hen.


She seems so happy sitting on the eggs and is keeping them lovely and warm. Has pulled out some little feathers to line the nest as well lol.

Anyway any advice would be nice

An odd time of year for it!
Our goose went missing in summer for a week or more, and I found her right at the back of the garden behind some bushes sitting on about 8 or 9 of her eggs. When she finally came back to the "duck house" to sleep, I removed the eggs. She has no mate so all were infertile, but she sat on them regardless. They all felt nice and warm, certainly as good as the little incubator we have keeps chicken eggs.
She'd dug a little hole and nested with her own down.

Yeah I thought it was an odd time of year for it. She was producing eggs of her own and had nested with one of those as well and another un fertile chicken egg but I removed those as they have no chance of being fertile.
She is in my back garden so no chance of her disappearing thankfully and she has shown no inclination to fly away.

She has a large plastic cycle storage container whice we put loads of straw in for a bed for her which she has been laying her eggs in. Its nice and deeps and she made a hole in the middle. She only started laying around christmas/ new year time.

I had a broody Silver Campine sitting on my Pekin Bantam eggs once. At the same time, one of my Cockatiels had been sitting on eggs for about 10 days, and then gave up and left them, so I had this great idea of sticking the little eggs under the Campine so she would at least hatch them, and then I could take the chicks to hand rear. (Had done this previously with two abandoned Cockatiel chicks). Anyhow, I sneaked the eggs under her, then when she got off for her 15 minute break the next morning, I looked, and she'd eaten them! I didn't know whether to laugh or be sick.

Anyway, sorry to hijack your thread, not much useful info for you there lol but maybe just see how she goes, and hopefully, you will hear the patter of tiny feet.
