Littledear, we must be on the same schedule. I am on day 26th this morning too AND I have 4 geese, 3 of which are sitting on one nest. One of my ganders has been broody for 2 weeks and the 2 'mother goose' I have just went broody 2 days ago. I have no idea how many eggs they are sitting on because they won't get off and I'd like to keep all my fingers. I have 4 Pilgrim eggs in the bator that are on day 26.
I concur God Bless the animals. I have been wondering how they are going to share the goslings too. Funny though the male that seems to have done most the fertilizing is not sitting on the nest and just walks around the property by himself.
eta: My geese were playing musical nest for a week or so too, now three of them are sitting tight. I wonder if there are too many eggs for one to sit on at a time. Oh I wish they would bug off that nest long enough for me to count them.
Are you supplying food and water within reach? I have provided for them, maybe that is why they haven't budged?

I wonder if they manage to hatch any if they will share the babies. They are so much fun to watch. God bless the animals as they give us hours of pleasure and enjoyment.
