Abstract :This study was carried out to determine the hatching traits of geese of different origins reared in Turkey. In the experiment, geese were selected from different regions of Turkey, insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Kars-INRA);, Isparta-Armutlu, Konya-Başkuyu and Konya-Tatlıcak);; 20 female and 4 male 2-year-old geese were used. Egg production was 39.4, 13.0, 11.4 and 12.6 eggs/geese, and egg laying period was 133, 75, 60 and 73 days, respectively. There were statistically significant differences between the original egg weight and hatched chick weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P < 0.01);. Egg weight loss proportions during incubation for the experimental groups were 12.92, 11.44, 11.38 and 12.22%, respectively.
