Hello,
I have a single female white Chinese goose (along with some ducks and other fowl) who has gone broody for the past few days. She sits on the nest whether or not there are eggs. Two ducks are laying daily, and the goose was laying an egg every other day but has slowed down quite a bit this past week.
I lift her off the nest once a day so she eats, and there is water near the nest that she can reach.
Is this a habit I should try to break, and if so, how, since she doesn't have any eggs anyways?
Should I expect this to last 32 days???
Having her run around outside with the other birds helps while she is out, but when we put them back inside she just goes back up on the nest. Until this past week she has sat on her own eggs for an hour or two, then come down, but things have changed.
Thank you for your input from others more experienced.
