Pilgrim Geese

What behavior should a pilgrim goose have when his mate is laying on eggs?

It varies quite a bit by individuals I have had ganders (male geese) sit beside the nest and chatter back and forth with the mate. I have had ones that went out on pasture with the rest of the flock. and my favorite would start courting a new mate as soon as his old one went broody on the nest. What are you seeing?
