Hello all, My Pilgrim gander lost his two mates and I would like to find two female goslings for him this spring. Does anyone have Pilgrim goslings for sale?

I have (or had) a trio of pilgrim geese that had been together since they were goslings several years ago. They were a tightly bonded little flock. Yesterday morning I found the two females dead in their pasture with only the gander remaining, and he looked to be in shock though I couldn't find...

Hello all, The water line from the house down to my coops freezes up in the winter and in the past I have always had to haul five gallon buckets of water down there each morning. The coops are a fair distance from the house, so I decided a few years ago to buy one of those square water tanks in...

Hi Rondack, My Pilgrims are laying, and I have eggs available if you are still looking. I could provide you with hatching eggs, or I can hatch for you (Size of hatch cannot be guaranteed, and I would expect that you would take all that do hatch). I do not ship hatched birds though. I am in...

I'm looking to find a new home for a breeding trio of my Pilgrim geese. They are from Metzer, and two private breeders, and are unrelated. The gander and one of the geese are two years old, one of the geese is four years old. Fertility was excellent this spring. They are a mid-sized, auto...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a couple of olive egger pullets (or chicks) to round out my flock. I'm in Southbury, but willing to drive in state for them. Anyone know of a local source?

The geese are laying, and fertility checks have been positive. I currently have two trios of Pilgrim geese. One gander is from Metzer, one is from Brown Fox Farms. The geese are from Metzer, from a BYCer from Arkansas, and from a BYCer from Vermont. I have them separated into trios. I have...

I'm on Peach Orchard Rd.

Hi everyone, Posting for two reasons; first, just wanted to connect with some CT backyard flock keepers. Second, I have two trios of pilgrim geese who I will, sadly, be rehoming sometime soon. One trio consists of a gander and two geese, all yearlings. The other is a proven pair, with an...

Hello all, I have two trios of pilgrims which I need to rehome (with a sad heart). One trio is made up of yearlings, the other consists of a proven goose and gander, and one yearling goose. They're lovely birds, and I would only let them go to good homes within driving distance of me...

Pilgrim hatch # 1 results: 3 girls and 3 boys! Second hatch due next weekend. : )

Results from Pilgrim hatch # 1: 3 girls and 3 boys! Nine eggs also due to hatch next weekend. I will be selling some of these babies; if anyone in or near CT is interested drop me a note. : )

So pleased with this hatch. Five out and one still working on it. Five more of mine, and four from shipped eggs are in another incubator and are about halfway. Never gets old, still a miracle every time. Depending on how the second hatch goes I may be selling some of the goslings - if...

Trying to build my flock of Pilgrims, so I've been looking for unrelated stock. I have my single pair who are currently laying (there are 6 eggs incubating nicely at the moment), I have a pair of goslings from Metzer (should have been two pairs, but that's another story ), and I have eggs...

Hello! At this time I am trying to rebuild my flock after a bobcat nearly wiped it out last year. Now, after some serious reconfiguring of the goose pasture, I am working on getting some genetic diversity in the yard. I have eggs from my pair in the incubator, and I have a male and female...
