How long fertile
Mar 9th, 2010 at 8:09pm  
Hi.

Does anyone know how long a goose is fertile for.  One of mine has escaped from its pen today and I found her having fun in the pond with the boys next door. She is back in her pen now but I need to know how long to leave the eggs now before I hatch from them to be sure they are not cross bred.

Thanks

JW

Hi

Thanks, yes I was thinking about 2/3 weeks myself, so wont hatch any for now, looks like we will be eating eggs for breakfast, dinner and tea now.
