Is there any way to get a gander to pay more attention to other geese and not just one? Probably a dumb question. I have a gander that's claimed 2 geese but ignores the other 3 girls so I got another gander and he only hangs out with one of them still leaving 2 girls without a boyfriend. Do I need to just buy a 3rd gander? Or is there a way to get one of the ganders to pay more attention to the outcasts? If I do get another gander, should I pen him and the other two girls up together for a few days?
My breeds are kind of random. Just a mix of my favorites. I have 2 Chinese ganders and the 5 geese which are a Canada goose that showed up 3 years ago and never left, a Pilgrim, a Roman Tuft, a Chinese and a Roman tuft/Chinese.
Are Chinese geese monogamous? Is it because they're all different breeds?
 
Chinese are not monogamous. They usually take 3 girls or maybe more. That is odd that they are leaving so many girls alone. This was my first breeding season with geese and I lost my female due to a laying issue on her second egg. Hopefully someone with more experience will be able to chime in.
