Goose Question

[Dmitri]

I found two goose nests in a local "park". Both have one goose sitting on the nests (with eggs), and another guarding it. I leave them alone.

But I want to know about what time of the year they eggs hatch so I can hopefully get some nice baby goose pics. Anyone know?

Springtime? or did you want the specific day.

Google to find out how long it takes for the eggs to incubate?

at a very rough guess (based on pheasant and chicken incubation times) your looking between 20 and 30 days incubation time with a rough average around 25 days.
Granted this might be different for geese but its giving you a rough idea to work from - however if you don't know the starting date then I think its going to be a case of getting there as much as you can and waiting since you won't know what day to start the count from.
Good luck

Thank you for the replies. Guess I'll just go often as I can and hope for the best

Really all you can do is check back daily. At one point they will hatch.
