)! We now have 13 ducklings and 2 goslings. But We have been seriously talking about the geese for a few days since my husband was kinda wanting them too. So i called up to see if they had white chinese and they did. They are an hour away so i was a little worried they would be gone. But there were still about 6 left of these ones. I picked the two smallest.
 
My poor goose! She just keeps on sitting and sitting but when she gets up to eat after a couple days I go look at nest and there is nothing there... I don't think she understands she is suppose to lay an egg to sit on

She never laid an egg last year either? Asking because I have a 5 yr old Toulouse who hasn't laid but 4 tiny eggs this year and not nothing this week, Acting perfectly healthy and they are in breeding season, she goes in every night and lays in her nest on 6 fake ceramic goose eggs. But hasn't gone broody yet. I tried to find info on what could be wrong but haven't found anything about domestic geese going through menopause. lol i don't care if she never lays again as long as she is healthy.

No she didn't lay any in here best but we did find one out in the yard... I tried to put it in the nest but she pushed it back out... I don't know why yours isn't laying but hopefully she is okay!

I live in MT, sometimes we get -20 in the dead of winter. I am getting baby ducks & geese in June. Trying to perfect their giant predator proof run that they will stay in when I am at work or not home (free range when I am home) I want to know if I can put wild sagebrush in their pen? Is it toxic? Will they destroy it completely? Also, I would like to add wild grass that grows in our fields. Does anyone have any helpful info on sagebrush & ducks, geese? I think it would be perfect- cold hardy, thick wood branches, little maintenance, ect. Of anyone can help, I would be very much appreciative. I cannot find any info on Google that relates with ducks & sagebrush!

I could really use some help! I'm picking up an African gosling this evening, he's one day old, do I feed him chick starter? What temperature do I keep him at? I have chicks in the brood that are 2-3 weeks old, any and all help would be appreciated
