Are your geese done laying for the year?

It has been a few days since I last checked Beignet's nest (which had 2 eggs), so I took a peek today.  I was surprised to find 4 eggs there.  Guess she's not done laying yet. 

Beatrice's nest has FIVE eggs in it today. I saw her go in there a few times and just stand over the eggs so I'm hoping this is her broody instinct kicking into gear!

Missy was in her nest most of yesterday, she still has the 9 but if she is to lay another egg it will be today.. oh how I hope she won't.

Well I am pretty sure Missy is full time broody now, very much relieved, although I didn't think I'd hatch her eggs since they will be mixed but to get her to stop laying it will be worth it. Plus I think this will be a nice mix. Not sure if any of the eggs are fertile even though they mated all the time even 2X day often. I will candle this coming Friday it will be about a week into her brooding. I should be able to see some veining by then?

Yay for Missy!! I sure hope they are fertile and bet the babies will be beautiful!

Thanks J, I am nervous and excited both and so far she has been coming out for eating and drinking and a little R&R so that makes me feel even better. But poor Sam is so lonely lol

I had a feeling Missy would be a good broody.

Poor Sammy. I felt bad for a few of my ganders when their mates went broody, but they wait patiently for their mates to return and otherwise deal with it.

Yay!

I hope Beatrice is right behind her! Today she has SIX eggs in the nest.

Magic # for Missy was 9 so lets hope Beatrice is close behind.
