I had two geese laying at the same time, and yes they shared the nest.
I marked the original eggs, and then took the fresh ones for bread.
Sub-son was at home during that time and he liked to make a goose egg
omelets, so we collected some and let her hatch some.  To my
recollection, her goslings hatched within 24 hours of each other, like a
chicken.  I do think I recall that the geese shared sitting duties, too,
but I can't remember for sure.  sorry..

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public
debt  should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered
and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed
lest Rome become bankrupt.  People must again learn to work, instead of
living on public assistance."
