Some of her eggs were fertile some were not, none hatched. After a week past due she still wouldn't get off her nest. So I removed it. she them adopted a ducks nest. So I took her out of the duck/goose pen and am allowing her to free range with the other geese around my pond.
I am so sorry, would have been nice if you could have found some goslings for her.
I agree, and it will boost her spirits up. I have a gander who has adopted ducklings.

Isn't it precious to see how the will take on these ducklings like their their own. Have to share this:I have a young goose who has adopted ducklings, too. Three are a few weeks old, purchased from Metzer Farms, and two are duck-hatched just a couple of weeks old. Momma duck doesn't mind - it was her first hatch, she lost one duckling early and then decided Kate the goose could have the remaining two.

He doesn't want to leave their side the first one he took on as Papa goose is going on 5 weeks this little one was hatched on the 16th and I have to make him come out of the house where duckling and mama are right now. it's so sweet.
Me too, I don't know about your part of the country but not many geese to be found around here.
