Goose Same-Sex Mating

[Snoopy Kim]

We have 10 Embden geese and we determined that seven of them are female and two of them are male. The last one we have been unsure about. We had seen it mating with one of our female geese and assumed that it was a male. However, yesterday we know for sure that it laid an egg. Has anybody had any experience of same-sex stuff going on with geese?

This can be seen in ducks, too. It can be a dominance thing, or it just means they’re maturing and they’re working their hormones out. We don’t have a male and our females do this, it happens.

We only have 3 geese (2 females and 1 male). Anything goes with those birds. Same sex, opposite sex, multiple geese at once... it's enough to make me too embarrassed to have visitors over in the spring.
