I saw my gander breeding today. My first year with Sebis. Actually first year with any waterfowl. I'm in New York. Crazy weather. I'll be looking for eggs soon

Daze, good idea. How big should it be?
I hope I see mine mating soon.

I use the plastic ones that are about 30 inches long and 16 wide and probably 18 tall. Mine love it. The only bad thing is when you have a goose setting and you need to collect the eggs, they have a perfect defensive position. They hunker down and bite! But my geese love them for nesting boxes! I have even had 2 geese in there at a time. I put out one for each goose (female).

This is a pic of a larger kennel. I think this is a 42 inch. They use these too.

Thanks. I have something to use that's big enough. A large dog cage, and cover it with a blanket or cardboard. I'll go make it!

Sounds good, just make sure to tie the door back or something so they don't get locked in or hurt by it.

Thanks, yes I tied the door open.
Mr. Goose launched an attack on me twice today. Of course I flapped my wings and growled!

I use big dog kennels and my husband has made me some nest boxes with a floor so they do not sit on the ground. Because geese make their nest and burrow to the bottom to lay the eggs. Then build the nest around in a big high circle.. Boy can they make some big high nest with lots of hay...

They sleep in a shed. I put the cage in the shed with a blanket over it. It's loaded with hay.
