Hello, Dee, and thank you for joining in and posting your problem.

To be honest, I think we have no geese farmers on here but we do have one in our village. I will see if he is around and ask him. He is not always at the place where he keeps his geese, so it may take me a few days to respond.

Meanwhile, if anybody else has any clues, please feel free to help Dee.

Thanks very much Danny, I will give a bit more information if that's OK.

We have had the geese for about 6 months now.This is their first lay. They have all lived together prior to this. They have two nests, one in the log store and one in their sleeping area. She built the nest herself but the other geese tend to lay in their sleeping area over night.

This is my first venture with geese, I have all kinds of poultry, ducks and turkeys and never had this problem before.

Once again, thanks Danny.

Well, she produced 6 goslings from 6 eggs so she did really well . She is coping very well and I have put out chick crumb out for the little ones.

The other geese have left her in peace but still come running if she starts shouting for them. I think I may have over panicked in the beginning as everything seems to be hunky dory with them all.

Now all I have to do is wait for my Turkey eggs to hatch this weekend 🙂

The life of a poultry keeper is never dull.
