    Broody Goose safety suggestions?

    I have three Toulouse, two geese and one gander. My sweet goose, Pumpkin, made a beautiful nest under our deck this past week. She kind of made it and then ignored it until the past couple days.

Since arriving from the hatchery they have never been separated, and actually seem upset if they are separated. To...
