Hey, a brahma would be perfect - especially one used to geese. Let me know in a few months what you end up with! :)

My poor NN rooster met his end sadly and I am without a roo at all here in Saratoga! Very sad, my ladies will miss him.. Come spring, I'll be looking for an adult rooster that's good to his ladies and doesn't spur humans. :P Bigger roo (no silkies or bantams- my geese might pick on the lil guy)...

Well, both are bobbing their heads at me so I assumed they were ready for the ol' hanky panky. So far they seem completely disinterested in each other other than walking in lock step- being used to chickens I just assumed they were the same gender.. Based on the very little I know, the african...

Oddly enough the chinese is less screamy than the african. they both 'talk' all the time but the chinese will shut up and hang around me quietly when I am out there. The african will keep going full scream.. Good to know that it could be a fall thing and maybe age and season could help. I didn't...

I have the same mix.. the molting ones are sad looking.. the old ones are also sad.. and the rest are naked necks ! :)

Hey guys! I had a few geese in my order of chicks this year - was hoping maybe would help as guard geese, if I was lucky. One is a white chinese and the other is an african. No idea on gender, but I am reasonably sure the african is male (nose pointing up allll the time, heavy build). The...

My goslings are big now! Too bad I am pretty sure they are both boys, but that's what I get for ordering from somewhere that doesn't sex them. :P They still hang with their chicken 'hatchmates' and are getting along with the big chickens as well. Hopefully that continues.

Goslings grow SO quickly! :P Same age.

Yeah I have read your posts - I am not expecting much - loud noise is enough since my window overlooks the chicken area so I can run out there. I have one old rooster but he is the quietest rooster ever. Planning to keep both. They are adorable!

Hi Y'all! Just got 2 baby geese with my hatchery order, let's hope I get a guard goose out of him/her/them. Hope all is well here in the NY forum. :)

Me too! :)

Glamour shot of super obnoxious chick that needs a home! S/he managed to live out the day with MUCH older chicks, as it is a super escape artist and seems to get out of wherever I put it. Under the heat in the house again now and not happy with stuffed animals/sock or mirror. Tried another...

Just a mixed breed - daddy is a naked neck since that's my only rooster but this chick is not a NN. My broody unfortunately offed one chick so I have this lone one just peeping away. Happy to give it to someone near me if I can't find a friend! :)

Does anyone have chicks near Saratoga or want one? I have a lone chick that needs at least one friend, the stuffed animal isn't doing it. Even a male packing peanut will work. Help! :)
