Can you keep 2 ganders and a goose together?

No! and not recommended! Just like you can't keep two roosters and a hen. The ganders will fight at some point for dominance and it will never end.

The only exception is if they were all raised as goslings together. If they were all babies together they might grow up fine and not fight but if they are adults from diferent groups then big NO.

Get more goose if you are going to keep both ganders, maybe they will pair up and not fight. If you have them together now and they're getting along keep an eye on them and maybe there will be no problem but at first sign of fight which can get bad you need to separate.

Sometimes if they are in a big open area, free ranging or in a large barnyard environment they will get along great! Many people have 3-5-10 ganders in with 10-20 geese and they all get along.

geese cant tell if eggs are bad but the mother can comunicate with the babies while they are forming and i have seen it happen where every goose nest in the area there is always one bad rotten egg left over in the nest after hatching.

Usually the geese don't know they are bad until it is past the time they are supposed to hatch. So they probably wont abandon it until after hatching time.

How does one clean goose down duvets?

Noisy, but so easy! 1) Wash your quilt or throw ALONE in the washing machine on GENTLE cycle (warm temperature). 2) Use detergent, as usual. Do not use bleach. (Your item will be quite soggy and limp after washing, but do not worry!) 3) Machine-dry the quilt or throw ALONE. (Toss three brand-new/clean tennis balls in the dryer with it.) They will bounce around and fluff up your quilt or throw. 4) You may have to run it through a few drying cycles, but it will come out clean and puffy, just like new. NOTE: I keep a can of clean tennis balls in my laundry room, just for laundering feather-filled quilts, throws, jackets. Etc. Learn more about this author, Linda Ann Nickerson.

Where are Canadian Geese as pets illegal?

If they stay outside, the government or animal control can't tell they are yours. They are loving if they are raised from when they are very young. Be wary and protective of the young.

I'm not sure if it is illegal or not, but if they are roaming free outside by a pond and over 12 weeks old, just keep feeding them. If they are disabled, try to keep them indoors, for safety's sake.
