Help! Three of my ganders try to mate with one goose!

[Mucahid]

Hi im new in this forum and i urgently need help. One of my friends has three ganders and four geese all of which are almost 2 yrs old and raised together. And the problem is 3 ganders want to mate with one particular goose and hurt her badly. How can i solve this problem? I will be so glad if anyone can help

You should remove the ganders or the hen, or separate them by a fence. You can't stop the desire to mate.

Separating them by fence may not seem to work as long as they see each other and even hear their voices. Do you have any idea about how i can convert the ganders' attention to other geese? Is sth like that possible?

Can you separate the one female they attack so that they can't see her? If she's removed they'll turn their attention to the other ones. That's only a short term solution, though. Chances are, when she's returned to the flock they'll be on her again.

The best for all of them would be if two of the ganders were re-homed. Having more than one male will stress all of them up, and if one mates, the others have to do it too. Like a gander pissing-contest.
