Obtaining Goose Eggs

• Goose eggs can be obtained online or by local farmers. Their shells are generally tougher and thicker than chicken eggs, making transport and delivery a little less tedious.

Storing Goose Eggs

• If you will not be using the eggs right away, they can be covered in a refrigerator for up to 3 weeks depending on how old they were when you got them.

Freezing Goose Eggs

• If goose eggs are in danger of going bad, they can be frozen. Break open the eggs and discard the shells. You can put the eggs in freezer-safe zip-style bags one or two at a time. Eggs frozen this way do not hold their taste, generally, scrambled or in omelets.

Incubation

• If you'd rather incubate the egg instead of eating it, you will need to do so as soon as you receive it. A fertilized egg can generally be held between 46 and 72 degrees F for up to 10 days without decreasing its hatchability.

Fun Fact

• Decorating goose egg shells is particularly satisfying because they are so large. You need to "blow" out the egg by poking a pin hole in both ends of the egg and blowing the raw egg into a bowl for cooking. The egg shell can be rinsed, dried and decorated.
