Been enjoying watching your videos. We will be receiving our first geese on our farm next week. 20 Chinese brown. Our plan is to maybe sell some, eat some and keep all of them. Haha so now we'll have quail, guineas, chickens and geese. We live near Spokane WA totally off grid.

That is great! They are so much fun.

I noticed you use an incubator to hatch geese eggs. In your experience will the geese not hatch their own or is your hatch rate better with the incubator?

We're planning on using our barn with some adaptations in a 16 by 16 foot pen.

@@thecountrybunkins8896 In my experience, the girls don't sit well enough to hatch their own eggs. They do get broody, but I've never had them hatch their own. They do adopt goslings each year though. I hatch their eggs and give the broody girls a few goslings in the night and the whole flock takes care of them.

Good to know, that's why we got twenty goslings coming. The hope maybe someone can hatch those eggs. If not we two incubators. I noticed that you lay the eggs on their side any reason not point down air sack up?
