Hi All,
I have had an email about finding a canada goose egg and how to incubate it without an incubator.
"I just rescued a canada goose egg from a Cob Mute Swan. The Canada goose had laid the egg a few days ago and it was in the middle of an OLD Mute Swan nest from last year. Well the Mute decided he want the area back and ran the goose off and began building his nest and shuved the egg out in the open today. I have it and would love to save the egg and future goose. Any tips since I do not have an incubation equipment?
I really need help soon! Pat"
This was my response:
Hi Pat,
Thanks for visiting farmingfriends and leaving your comment. You can make a home-made incubator if you don’t have a broody hen/goose to sit on the egg.

Here’s a link for incubating goose eggs http://farmingfriends.com/incubating-canada-geese-eggs/
A goose egg needs to be kept at a temperature of 99.5 degrees fahrenheit and the incubation period for Canada Geese eggs is 35 days. You will need to turn the egg 3/4 times a day.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards
