both my female geese have gone broody and taken up residence in the hen house (how they got through the door i'll never know!) theyve been on the eggs for a week, but they are not fertile (have no male)
i have tried removing the eggs (very hard to reach in there) but no luck, i get attacked by both 'mum's and my god my arms are ripped to shreds even though i had thick fire proof work gloves on!!
so...a) how do i get them both off the shared nest they made? b) if i can get the eggs will they stop sitting? c) could they hatch out chicken eggs????? i could use them as surragate broodys or will they break chicken eggs?
edited to add - ive just had a phone call, a guy is winging his way over to mine with 6 geese - 3 females - 3 males, after their quarantine time can i just let them in with my 2 geese or do i have to slowly introduce them??
