I don’t know which is more formidable, the goose mama or the easy-move chicken coop being re-purposed as a protective gosling nursery.

Moved Goslings and Nest to Protective Coop
Today, risking life and limb from attacking geese, I moved the goose nest and the three goslings, plus one in the process of hatching, to a protective coop so that predators won’t eat the goslings. I also consolidated the eggs of the three nests into one nest and gave the two geese who had been brooding the longest a relief of duty.
Goslings started hatching
From the pictures, one can not tell, but there are goslings under these broody geese. Very protective parents. If you try to lift up a wing to check on the goslings, you will lose an arm.
Geese re-homed
Today a gander and a goose from Busted Bucket Farm found a new home at Rockabilly Farm (http://www.rockabillyfarm.com). They like their new sheep friends. Happy Grazing!
Goose Eggs
This is the tip of the iceberg. There are probably upwards of 25 eggs underneath, but I dare not disturb. One goose is hoarding most of the other geese eggs.
