When a goose sits on eggs does she get another to relieve her to eat drink etc?
Nobody relieves a sitting mother from her nest. She does get up from the nest to take a break (drink water, bathe, eat) and returns within 10 minutes or so. Prior to her break, she will cover the eggs with the down that lines the nest to ensure they stay warm. The husband will often come in from standing guard (10-15 feet away) to take the break with her. How many breaks she takes depends on the mother. In my observation, they break once a day.
Does it have to be warm for the butterfly egg to hatch?
Yes, they do have to be kept warm, but not necessarily by a sitting mother. A nesting goose or duck will get up at least once a day to leave the nest for a swim, get something to eat or just a stretch. The time she spends away from the nest is not long and usually she covers the eggs with a layer of down to keep them warm. In the case of Canada Geese, when the mother does leave the nest for a break, the father is often close by standing guard to stop any prediators from attacking the nest.
