That nest is way too small for that goose. She needs depth and width and height. She is going to break all her eggs in that small area hon....Well we just went to check on the chickens and cause Suzie in her special place laying! We are up to 4 eggs now. It is Autumn here now and the winters do get cold but not harsh and I do have her set up in a side room of our barn so she is sheltered (though she can come and go from there as she pleases) There is electric run to the barn and it wouldn't be a problem to put a heat lamp if we needed to. I don't mind giving a little extra feed as needed. We sprout our own fodder for our birds and other livestock, which is quite economical. I definitely am hearing the mating triumph calling
How do you get them from one country to another? smuggle? lol I'm thinking there's a lot of red tape bringing an animal in from another country??Ok lets see
The feet have a weird rose colour like the beak i swapped my french toulouse for a trio he got in scotland out of that trio i got a few incubated goslings and sold them to people who can afford to buy them and i kept a gander and split the trio into 2 pairs
and some1 in germany is going to swap me african goslings for white greylag goslings nxt spring
i love questions and its indeed interesting
OK, so your white greylags originated from Scotland as far as you know, and soon their offspring will be on their way to Germany. Did you look up Anser... rubrirostris? I reckon they must be beautiful with their white feathers and pink bills and feet. Also, did you know that Roman geese are small, and the older bred ones often had the pink bills and feet? As you say that yhours are smaller, I wonder if there´s a connection with the Roman geese, they´re a very old breed. See what you think.Ok lets see

Thank goodness you went when you did, poor lil one. glad to hear it's drying out nicely.Look what I found in the goose nest....she didn´t kill it, but she certainly doesn´t like it, hissing and so on, it didn´t look too bright, and looking at it I think she may have just squashed it if I´d left it there, so I took it out. Nearly became an egg sandwich! I´m hoping she´ll hatch out more, and maybe she´ll be better with those. I´ll go back down and see if I can hear any noises coming from more eggs. This one´s drying out nicely under a lamp now. Silly goose.
