Oh, ok. You don´t need to trim anything, except, perhaps the flight feathers if they´re inclined to take off. Don´t trim their bills. It´s like filing down your teeth....whatever for?!
the geese will like lots of good, short grass to eat and water to splash about in.
Oh, beg your pardon. I got mixed up with another post about one of the geese had died. Sorry.
Like Kevin pointed out, they can be so different. Have fun in the spring, it´s almost there!
Mounting doesn´t mean anything... females will mount, especially if there´s not an available gander. I have one goose that is broody-crazy. I have to watch her, because if she has just one egg left unhatched in her nest, she´ll not come out to look after the ones already hatched, but she´ll...
I´ve found it to be much more difficult than a chicken. I´ve only done it with one goose, and actually it wasn´t me that managed it..she did it on her own when she was ready. Separation, etc, would have been a very stressful thing for her, and trying to keep her away from the nesting site...
Hi CK. Shame about your gander. After a few weeks, I´d say there was very little chance of them being fertile, but you never know! You´ll be able to tell after 4 days or so in the incubator, so why not have a go......you just lose out on a few omelettes!
