I have 2 pairs of breeding geese. 3yr olds, laid and sat well this season.
Would consider as part exchange for milking goat with lrg easy milking teats.

hey Camile,
They sat once this year as i was alway robbing the nest and incubating the eggs. One pair laid 60+ eggs and the other laid a little less. Not totally sure as dogs were robbing eggs too.
They are 3 embden and one toulouse

100% fertilty ( i know, i shouldnt have bothered with checking  unhatched eggs) and about 75% from sitting/incubating. I did sell/give away a lot of eggs for incubating also so i dont know how successful they were, although one lots didnt hatch at all as the man never knew that waters goes into an incubator Laughing live and learn i guess
