I have two female geese and one started to go broody I discouraged it and took the eggs from her now they are both broody laying in a nest with no eggs! Is this normal?

Are they occasionally moving and pulling nesting material around them?

I think so. My freinds Chickens often go broody on nothing.

Yes they are getting up and eating but go right back
I feel bad for them though they have to do that for nothing
I guess I'll keep discouraging it

When my Muscovy go broody and I take up their eggs I try everything there is to try to discourage them from brooding on nothing but since 2004 when I started with Muscovy nothing has broken the broody phase. Those hormones have to dissipate on their own and that takes time. So I keep destroying their nest and make sure they come outside to eat and have some exercise until it's over. You could destroy their nests and lock them outside and see how that goes?
