Hi there,

and welcome to BYC!

I don't keep ducks or geese. However I do keep other poultry and know that if one bird is being harassed by another bird or birds, the bullies have to go. She may not be safe and it is not worth it, coming out to an injured goose. Birds sitting on the nest are vulnerable. So get the bullies out of there and let the goose do her thing.

Great to have you aboard and enjoy BYC!

I agree with Two Crows

I have a small house for the ducks but fencing may be a major pain with 6 ft snow banks, I'll get right on this after I plow. TY

Welcome to BYC - the harassment, especially if you want the goose to set and raise goslings, needs to be controlled. Horny drakes tag teaming a female are a sheer aggravation.

I have to separate my geese and ducks during the egg laying
time of year as the geese egg's are hard to come by and I do not
do as good a job incubating the egg's as the geese do .....
