Adding geese to existing flock while momma has a nest....

[Savedbygrace]

I have an opportunity to get five geese for a really good deal, but I'm wondering what will happen if I introduce new geese to my existing flock of three embdens (new geese would be Toulouse and Chinese) especially where my only female is in the process of setting up a nest. Will this cause her to break up the nest? Do adult geese typically incorporate well with other adults? I have mine in a very large fenced in area which includes a pond and have a shelter in there for them as well.

What do you think? Should I go for it? Should I get the new geese and pen them near the existing flock for a while? I appreciate your advice. Thanks

I would not mix the 2. Keep her in a quiet pen with her favorite gander. Keep the eggs and goslings safe.

Thanks, after thinking about it overnight I'm planning to get the new geese but keep them in a place of their own until nesting time is over. I have some of the poultry netting I can set up and I'm planning to put them next to the current flock but with a fence between, that way they can get used to each other and everyone will have their own space for the next month or so thanks for the advice!
