The incubation period, in which the female incubates while the male remains nearby, lasts for 24–32 days after laying. Canada geese can respond to external climatic factors by adjusting their laying date to spring maximum temperatures, which may benefit their nesting success. [40]
The dusky Canada goose weighs approximately three to twelve pounds and is twenty-five to forty-five inches in length. [5] Male and female geese have black heads and necks, white cheeks, and similar voices. [5] Approximately four to six eggs are the size of each clutch, with an average incubation period of four weeks. [6]

Three days before the eggs are scheduled to hatch, they are moved into a hatcher unit, where they are no longer turned so the embryos have time to get properly oriented for their exit from the shell, and the temperature and humidity are optimum for hatching. The eggs will hatch during a period that is often referred to as the hatching window ...

This can be seen in several species of birds of prey, such as eagles, and depends on the size difference between the siblings and therefore the amount of time that passes between each egg hatching. [7] In the crowned eagle, the time interval between eggs hatching is 3 days, and in this species the brood reduction observed is obligate. [7]
