Maybe it´s just your gander, then. If you got another pair it may not be the same. Why would two pairs be hassle? I´m not knocking, I just don´t know what your set-up is, and I find Pilgrims are easy to keep a few pairs. They squabble the tiniest bit, get it sorted, and then get on with it. But of course, it´s down to you. I´ve just related what I´ve found to be the case here.
Oh, I see. No, that´d be tricky. It may even be tricky for two geese to set comfortably there. Sisters will often sit together, but none-related geese may not want to share a confined place.
Well, why not give them another go? Geese are notorious for not being too fertile the first year. I don´t even breed my first-year females, and some say the three-year-olds are the best breeders, so maybe the next years will be better. In fact, that she actually hatched some goslings, she didn´t do too badly if she´s a first-timer.
I hope they get lots of goslings too, especially the experimental ones (pilgrim with saddleback auto-sexing) and the pied with the saddlebacks. Shame you couldn´t get saddleback auto-sexings where you are. I found mine by accident, and I´m really chuffed.
Yes, thanks, but sorry about what happened with yours. But by the time mine have all got boring, you´ll be off again with yours, with pred-proof protection.
