'The actual period of incubation of goose eggs varies slightly with the breed. Some eggs from the lighter breeds may start pipping after 28 days, while eggs from the larger breeds may take 35 days. It may take up to 3 days for hatching to be completed'

Posted info above April 3, to help our expectations. March 28, first day saw goose ON nest, after seeing the pair 'swimming' toward it; then one/he kept heading south, and she landed on nest.
