Help needed

Hello I have a pair of dewlap toulouse geese our female will only sit on her eggs during the night off them during thr day but won't let anything near her nest why isn't she sitting all the time

Geese will lay every other day and mostly ignore their nest until they’ve got a fairly large clutch and then they’ll go broody and sit on them.
Not all geese have a strong maternal instinct however and some won’t really get broody.

Dewlaps are absolute failures at successfully hatching their own eggs. In all the years I have had dewlaps, I've only once had a dewlap successfully hatch her own babies. On the rare few occasions where they manage to sit until hatching, they have crushed the babies. It has been pretty traumatic for me and my geese to clean out nests filled with dead babies.

One of my ducks is like that, it’s awful. I’m sorry.
