I have a flock of Dewlap Toulouse that have been laying for nearly 3 wks now. 4 geese 2 ganders sharing 3 nests in a divided shed and outdoors. Three of the girls have begun to try and sit on the eggs during the late afternoon but one has an outdoor nest that isn't even in any of the goose nest shelters I made and I'm worried to let her sit there. Also, I've had some bad experiences with my Toulouse trying to set their own eggs. I've been taking their eggs away, so when they are trying to sit they are sitting on empty nests or nests with only 1-2 eggs in them. I've been moving the girl outside from her nest every night and putting her to bed, she is far more serious then the other two and has her gander on her side. They've laid about 10 eggs each so far, so they shouldn't be done yet, right? Any ideas on how to break the brood and keep them laying?
Edit:
Oh, forgot to mention. I'm still getting eggs, but I'm having to really fight for them and get them when the girls are off swimming.
