Gander on nest?

[Jay262]

My embdem what is supposed to be gander keeps sitting on nest everyday when I go to coop is this normal? It hasn't layed a egg I get a egg every couple days from my 2 that I know are geese forsure. He is much bigger then them and I assume its a gander but I have had no luck incubating eggs. The eggs appear fertile to me but maybe there not and its actually a female idk. Is it normal for male embdems to sit on nest fairly often? He is pretty much on nest anytime I go to coop.

Hi J, it´s not so unusual. Ganders are very keen parents.

Show us a picture of your goose so we can see what it is

Give her a chance. It took one of my geese two weeks before she laid an egg. Egg laying is not easy and from what I can gather a pretty painful process.
