    so sad! i lost them.

    I reccommend several strands of hot wire to be turned on at night. Once the coons or opossums get zapped once they will respect the sound of the fence. Otherwise they will dig, pry, climb and do whatever it takes to get in. I have not lost any geese since I wired the coop over a year ago. Best...

    Keeping only Ganders

    Mine love cabbage and apples in the fall and bcoccoli and cauliflower stems in the winter. In the summer they love tomatoes and melon of any kind. Some people stock up on pumpkins and squash to feed over the winter but mine don't care much for that.

    Help-Gosling hatching-do I help?

    tough call. Most say don't help at all. If they aren't strong enough to hatch on their own they will be to weak to survive anyway. I on the other hand can not help myself and help them. I break the shell away very slowly and carefully and at the first hint of blood stop and wait awhile. I have...

Her gander yells but doesn't make...

    Goose Gender/Goose Eggs

    The large one that won't let you near the eggs is likely the male. They won't go broody until they feel they have enough eggs. They cover them to keep them warm. They take 28-30 days to hatch once the goose starts setting all the time.

    goose mating with duck?

    I have a drake who gets on top on my setting goose. Goes into her house numerous times a day. She sets up a racket and I chase his away. Worthless gander of hers just lets it happen. My drake is a large appleyard but the gander is still much bigger.

    Sebastopol geese question

    I couldn't tell with mine until it was breeding season. Males tend to be slightly larger. They tend to be louder. They tend to be more watchful. All pretty iffy things. Wish there was a definitive for them like the drake curl.
