• Answer:

  Most goose eggs take about 28-34 days to hatch, depending on what kind of goose.Don't worry if yours don't hatch on the EXACT day, because some goose eggs hatch early, and some hatch late. Here's some additional info on how to hatch goose eggs. 1.) The best way to hatch a goose egg is to let the female goose hatch it. But if you want to hatch them yourselves, go ahead, it's a fun experience. The temperature should be around 99 degrees F. Turn the eggs 3 times a day, but about on the 3rd to last day, stop turning the egg. It is preparing to hatch. About 2 or 1 day before the goose hatches, you should see a small hole in the egg, made by the goose's beak. This is a pip hole, and a good sign that this egg will maybe hatch. 2.) When your goose starts hatching, do not help it. You can only help it after it's been struggling to get out of the egg for over 24 hours, and you can see the whole goose. When peeling off the shell, and you see blood, stop. Wait for 12 hours before attempting to help it again, because you broke the blood veins and it could bleed to death. Remember, helping it last would probably be your last option, because hatching is like an exercise for the goose to prepare for the world. But also, the goose can't stay in the egg for too long, because it needs air. I still would suggest you let the parents hatch it though. :) Do what you think is best, and good luck!
