    Usually it's 9 to 10 weeks but with mountain goats it's only 7 weeks because they have a thicker coat of fur which hastens the hatching process. Cheers!

  • Cool.  These are domesticated goats and they're accustomed to people handling their eggs

  • Well I appreciate you giving me a "heads-up" but I'm rather disappointed that you came here with your batteries inserted backwards

  • LOL

    Suppose I could go on with the obligatory innuendo and stuff, but I'm curious...
    Do you really eat those things?

    My own personal feeling is that it depends partly on the temperature.... you have to maintain warmth and humidity.. oh and be sure to turn them regularly... if you, whoops I mean your friend, gets too bored sitting on them you could try putting them into an incubator.

  • I passed along your helpful advice. The incubation portion did not go so well

    It seems back in days of yore, the early ancestors of goats were egg-laying critters as evident by this fossil uncovered in the Ukraine This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at April 19, 2017 2:25 PM MDT
