Greetings from Northwest Washington. My I have a Chinese water goose she's brown and she's my first goose! This is her first year laying eggs and she started in December. I was pretty concerned and I started taking her eggs away thinking it was too early for her to hatch goslings considering the weather has been so cold. Long story short, she hatched for and I brought 2 inside to hopefully even if the playing field. In case she loses them then we'll still have two. Well she's doing pretty darn well with them but I'm concerned about a couple of things. Goslings are all doing very well inside and out. Except for one thing. One of the goslings that I have inside is picking on the other one. He grabs him in the middle of the back and just reefs on him. He doesn't seem to be hurt but he's picking often and I see his back is wet all the time. So should I separate the two goslings inside until the one decides to stop picking on the other? The other thing I'm curious about is if anybody else is keys have been laying eggs early this year. Just seems quite odd to me that my little Popcorn would start laying in December rather than February!?
Thanks everybody. It's not nice to have some place to turn when you have questions. There's not that many geese people around!
