I have 1 goose and 3 ganders ( American Buff) that I incubated and hatched last April. About 3 weeks to a month ago my goose started laying an egg every one to two days, but she wasn’t broody and we weren’t planning on any more geese this soon so I was taking the eggs.
Then she started sitting on them(she had two plus some duck eggs). But I noticed 2 days went by and she never got off the nest( not that I saw) so I removed her from the nest so that she would care for herself. Anyway, the goose eggs are no longer there and she is playing musical nest going to whichever nest has eggs in it and she does not want to leave the nest to care for herself.
My question is, should I let her sit on some duck eggs til they hatch or should I keep removing “her” eggs?
