Thanks everyone!

MissPrissy - I already have to search for the duck eggs.  Now I have to search for the goose eggs also?

Like I said, It is Easter every day!!!  Egg-Hunt.

If they are mating, watch where the goose goes. she might be hiding eggs already..

no you do not have to seperate the father from the daughters..  it is not real critical like it would be for four legged animals..

If they were hatched in spring of 08, they will lay in spring of 09. Mine start the first or second week of march.

Thank you. We've only had them for a few days, but I did go out and check the pen. The male most certainly does NOT want me in there around the ladies!
