This a journey for me, and I'm learning new things every day. Two days ago my normally slightly rowdy males were in attack mode. I was walking to their feeding area to refill their watering trough.
One gander grabbed my pants leg with his beak and preceded to beat me with the edge of his wings. I had no clue that could hurt...but it did. Another pinched my arm through my shirtsleeve leaving a good-sized bruise. After prying my flesh and pantleg free I fenced myself off in their own for protection.
Inside the pen, the nest was guarded by a female goose. She was sitting on the eggs where they normally left an open nest. So I guess I now know the signs of a broody goose and gander. 😑
