Well....that is EXACTLY what happened. Her nest (this being her first
year) was not in the safest place. When I went to check on the eggs last
night they were all GONE and her nest was destroyed. I cried. Dang it. I
know she will rebuild somewhere else...I just hope it's in a safer PLACE
this time. I was just crushed.

Well, our Lady Chatsworth has six eggs so far in her
nest. What concerns me
is the fluctuating weather...from warm to really
cold..and she does not seem
to be sitting on them for long. When she leaves her
nest, she covers the
whole thing up with dirt, sticks and leaves so
nobody can see it. But I
don't know if that is enough insulation to keep them
warm.
This is my first goose so I have no clue. I DO know
that our guineas take a
week to lay around 20-30 eggs and don't sit on them
until the last egg is
laid, then they start sitting on them. But they
don't start that until April
sometime. Our ducks are beginning to nest as well.
