You're brave. I usually push mine off the nest with a big fishing net, or reach under them with my chuck it. That thing used for flinging tennis balls to the dogs. They make a handy tool to get eggs out from under birds. I hope to go to my grave without ever being pinched by a goose. :fl

Mine probably yell at me because I remove their eggs? I've not had a quiet broody. They sit in a pile yelling at me. :confused: Mine will take your arm off for head lettuce.

Mine start screaming their heads off when they see me coming. Mine don't know how to be quiet.

Thank you so much. I moved my 8 goose eggs under my bantams. I think I have about 10 broodies all jammed in the nestboxes. We will see how it goes. :)

Were they confused as to what species they are? Did you eventually put them with your geese? I'd like my geese to raise them, so I might put mine under the geese for the last few days. I had problems last year with something taking eggs. I believe it was a crow. Thank you for sharing. :)

I might try it then. The geese are like a pit of vipers, and they keep adding eggs. I only want 3-4, so it's easier to control what goes on under a bantam. Thank you. Oh my gosh, that's so adorable. :love

Has anyone let chickens incubate goose eggs, and it's been successful? Thinking about giving my bantams a few to attempt to sit on.

I've been observing the females have a say in what they boys can and can't do. I bet your girl is very popular. :)

Mine are 3, 2, and 1. My original 3 buff females, than 3 pilgrims, 2females, one male, than the 3 mixed all males. 6 more coming this year. I got geese to get over my fear of them. Now I find them fascinating. :)

Mostly old posts on here. Good to hear multiple males can work. :)

I keep reading that I can't have more than one male. Last year's hatch netted me 3 males, so now I have a total 4 males, and 5 females. So far just the young ones are occasionally going at it and the older ones break it up. I have another 6 females on order for June. I'm not risking more males...

Following along. :)
