Its January 6th, many in the north will start seeing eggs in February (for march hatchlings) you want your breeding stock separated 30 days prior to eggs to ensure pure bred goslings and to help with the pair bonding as it will take a little time for them to accept who you as the human want them to be with. Otherwise you are behind the eye ball so to speak. I know it "seems" early, but you have to be thinking ahead if you plan to breed, not winging it at the last minute. Unless of course you are willing to eat or toss those first eggs if you are still running mixed flocks.
