We have 3 geese - all female - all layers - none will hatch. One goose stays on the nest almost constantly and will not get off unless forced. we remove the eggs - we make her get off - its at the point where she can barely walk from sitting. We have even destroyed the nest and she rebuilt...
We have recently found out that the lake we live on (near a joint base) - is contaminated with PFAO's from years ago usage of the firefighting foams. They still stock this lake for fishing but have stated that people should not eat the native fish. This lake is 1/3 to half of our geese's...

Here is another question. We have 2 Africans and 2 Saddlebacks. Between them they are working on over 60 eggs (all in one communal nest) They have been laying since Feb 24. I haven't yet eaten an egg, but have read they are delicious. Would you recommend eating them, the weather has been...
One of our pet Africans was flying into our lake (very low to the ground) and flew smack into a stump. It created a puncture wound in the middle of his chest - its pretty wide and deep I would say two fingers wide at least. We cleaned it and put something like neosporin on it .... but we are...
5eggs so far from two breeds. The nest is exposed and we are getting ready for the n'oreaster. Should we protect the nest? I dont think they are done laying.
