Hi! I am new to the group.We currently have 6 chickens, 2 ducks and 2 geese.

I have a goose and gander. The goose laid about 12 eggs, but doesn’t really sit on them, my gander does. Has anyone else seen this?

Hi, welcome to BYC! pleased to meet you and thanks for joining us. I know my cob sits on the eggs but I can't speak for the goose people.

Hello and welcome to BYC!

It is common in some species of poultry for males to set on eggs. I am not sure about Geese, you might start a thread in our Geese forum for more help.... https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/geese.47/

Make yourself at home here, and enjoy your flock!

Hi!! Welcome to BYC!!
My gander builds nests and lays on little toys that look similar to eggs.
But when there is a REAL nest with REAL eggs you better believe it's my goose who will sit on it!
