We have three lovely old OAP geese here (well ok, two geese and one gander). I don't think one of the geese lays any more, but the other one has laid three eggs over the past two weeks, and has now started to sit. Unfortunately I hadn't seen this coming, so I had already scrambled her eggs
! (Mind you, I don't think Mr Gander has been up to the task for quite some time looking at him, so I doubt they were fertile!).
I don't really want to give her eggs to hatch, as I'm told she's not been the most reliable in the past. However, if I could get hold of some day-olds, do you think she and the other two would accept them? (she's very nearly blind with cateracts if that helps!!
)
Failing that, if I did buy some younger models in, would I have to get rid of the OAPs first
, or would they toddle round together happily do you think?
Thanks in advance!!
Womble.
