Broody Goose but no eggs. Help!

[wornoutmomto3]

I've got 3 Pomeranian geese (all female, so none of the eggs are fertile) all sharing a nest. I was able to get some Chinese geese eggs, but after 40+ days nothing hatched. I was able to slip in and pull the eggs to candle. They were all duds.

Well, the girls are still sitting on an empty nest. I have some ducklings (Jumbo Pekin) that hatched today. Would it be safe/advisable to slip them under the geese so they can raise them? Or, should I wait and see if they lose interest in sitting?

You could try introducing the ducklings but be prepared that the mommys don't accept them. Depending on how determined they are to be broody, they may accept them but sometimes birds can tell when the babies are not their own kind.
Otherwise the nesting area needs to be blocked off so they literally can't sit in the nest area anymore.
