Hi! Thanks for answering
Yes, I found out she had a mate who died a couple of years ago.
She has just begun laying and so I was wondering if maybe I could procure a fertilized egg from another goose keeper and replace one of hers with it for her to raise. She's pretty broody.
To that end, if anyone in Southern California who has a mating pair and will sell/trade/give a fertilized egg, that'd be swell!
Also, we are just putting the finishing touches on a chicken house that will migrate around the property along with and in close proximity to the goose enclosure, so I think one or the other or both will be enough for her. She eats, bathes, forages, and seems generally gregarious by her greetings and curiosity.
Any comments or suggestions (or eggs nearby? ?

We have a new goose on our land. New by a few months, anyway, when a coworker gave her to me when she could no longer care for her. She's about 8 yrs old and her name is Doc doc and she is just lovely. Until our dog recently dispatched of our remaining hen, the goose had a roomie. With a new chicken coop built we are about to start a new hen flock. The goose will remain in her current, poultry-less enclosure and I am wondering:
Do geese NEED another goose to be happy?
Doc doc seems to be happier without Laverne (our old red hen, OBM) and she enjoys her daily grazing time, chomping on grass and dandies.
Any goose experts know if she would be happier with a buddy of her own feather?
Thanks

Okey-dokey. Well, turns out we can't go camping (sadface)... We'll be driving down daily from Riverside - couldn't organize care for the critters while gone.
We'd still love to hang out with the camping people, though, if there are hangouts to be joined at Lake Skinner or elsewhere.
If you see this face (pink shock on top is gone, though still peeks out from underneath) PLEASE SAY HI!!!
xo,

Late to see this. I'm really excited about the conference. My partner and I live in the Inland Empire and would very much like to camp, rather than drive daily.
Are there any spots left in the spaces (119 and 120) that were reserved? Or has anyone else got room for two paying friends at their site?
Thanks and HELLO! (this is my first post here )
