Embden Geese Hatching Eggs

Embden Geese Hatching Eggs

The Emden is the oldest goose breed of the area that is now Germany, with origins believed to go back to the thirteenth century. It derives from the traditional large white geese of the East Frisia region of north-western Germany; these had a long curved neck and so were sometimes known as Schwanengans or “swan geese”. The modern breed was established in the late nineteenth century.

In 2016 the breeding population in Germany consisted of 238 female and 132 male birds. In 2020 the conservation status of the Emdener was listed in the Rote Liste of the Gesellschaft zur Erhaltung alter und gefährdeter Haustierrassen in its Category II, stark gefährdet (“seriously endangered”).

The Emden is the heaviest goose breed of Germany: ganders may weigh up to 26 pounds, and reach a height of a 3 feet.

The Emdener may be kept for meat or for eggs; the meat is of good quality. Geese may lay some 50–60 eggs per year, with an average weight of about 6 ounces.

Some of the challenges with hatching eggs – and what to do:
Temperature changes – Ask for ‘Hold for Pickup’ during freezing or extreme high temps.
Rough handling – We ship individually wrapped, double boxed & air padded. Over hundreds of orders our packing has eliminated cracked eggs.
Late delivery – We ship with insurance to protect the value of your order. Eggs will be 48 hours old at most when shipped.
Buyer incubation process – Read the instructions provided. Ask us for help if needed.
Faulty incubator – If you have failed to hatch anything in your current incubator, find a new one.
Fertility – We do regular fertility checks on our eggs to ensure fertility. Both fertilized egg and incubation.

About Your Incubator
There’s nothing worse than paying good money for eggs, setting them to incubate in your new incubator and have nothing develop. Some incubators are known to have unacceptable temperature & humidity fluctuations. Always research before you buy.
And only try cheap hatching eggs on new incubators.

Buyers should be letting their shipped eggs sit with the large side up for 24 hours before placing them in their incubator. The air space in the egg will need to settle and reform after it has been shuffled around by being in the mail. If you know how to candle eggs you can check the air space upon receipt. Lots of tutorials online with what to look for.

Your hatching success is our priority!
You should know buying hatching eggs is risky (mostly due to rough shipping and handling). We cannot guarantee your hatch rate due to things beyond our control once they leave the farm.
