We have 12 female African geese (and 12 males). They have laid over 200 eggs so far this spring, however only ONE girl has gone broody and that was 28 days ago (she has a couple of eggs that have internally pipped) Is there som,e way to promote broodiness in these other girls??

Our goslings first major rainfall

We have 17 adult African geese, 8 of which are female. This spring, they have laid many many eggs. However, only two have gone broody (it looks like our youngest may go broody soon). Eggs have spoiled in the nests. We noiw have 9 viable eggs in the incubator, but does anyone have an idea why...

Dave's wife here. I put her outside, put Carrie inside the nesting area this morning and the babies will go to Fred readily. I just let Carrie out since she wasn't on the nest anyways, and shut the door so neither can go in and set on the nest. I've got one gosling working on an internal pip in...

One of our young African geese hatched out two goslings. As usual, she has lost quite a bit of weight sitting on her nest for 30 days (she is a small goose to begin with) Now she is beginning to sit on another nest. Our African/Toulouse cross gander and his mate are caring for the goslings while...
