Ok, this worked last year with my Super Africans, I had 2 halfgrown females and put them first next to the adult male (he was pining for his mate I sold anyway, oops) and after a couple days I put them together and he was incredibly happy.
Now I have 6 Shetlands and a few more later to add (who presently reside in the brooder), and have a 1 year old gandar the other flock sorta bullyied at the beginning of spring mating season who also is with an older buff/tufted goose , I have them at night next to the babies and want that gandar to adopt the babies to keep in the front pasture daytime grazing area, as it is safer. Not sure how female buff will react... they are sorta interested... (meanwhile the African keeps sneaking around the back of the pen hoping to steal them, but he can't be in front pasture because grandsons play there some and he is too protective ....
I don't want to risk the Shetlands to injury by adults, so want to be careful....
