Home bred goose lays her first egg while the flock protects her
The goose walks to the nesting box and checks it out. She hops in and the other geese stand watch. The pure white geese are the ganders. The mixed colours are the girls.
While she gets settled in the nest one of the ganders stands guard.
She sits with her face pointing out while she lays the egg and her mother stands near her.
Later she is turned around and we see her behind as she’s making great effort to hide the egg in the hay.
Afterwards she has a sleep in the winter sun.
They nest in long grass in the wild and usually free range but need to be locked up to nest as there are too many predators that will kill a nesting goose.
When the geese flap their wings it’s to show strength and scare off predators.
I’ll find a video link to what their nests look like with their buried eggs in the hay.
