Oh J I am so sorry to hear that Ember passed away. Hope you can find another goose to put with Spirit.
Seems like the females when it is breeding season is the time we lose our girls from issues to breeding problems.
This is why I have been putting many different nuts in their feed to provide calcium!!! I make sure to put them in their feed so they eat the nuts to replenish their calcium. Because they use up their calcium in their bones laying eggs. I have found that since I have been doing this things are going better with my girls. I buy the porch, patio and deck bird food at Walmart. There is also a nut and berry one I use also. This is helping my girls and they love the seedless nuts and the berries.
