They will bred and hatch a mix of their 2 breeds. No mules.

Not sure if your gosling can eat pellets might want to make it into crumble.

Well hopefully he is getting it right and you'll be incubating goslings.

I would like to know too. I am still waiting for my almost 5 yr old[April] female Toulouse to lay her first egg for this season.

If that came out of your duck she may need a stiz bath. Sure looks like a goose egg doesn't it.

All huge eggs from my Buff duck are always double yolkers.

How does his eye and face look @TheTwoRoos Eye injury can be serious do you have any Veterycin spray for wounds and infection.. I'd wash his eye and face real gently with a saline wash 1/8 tea to 1 cup of warm water then spray Veterycin in his eye and on other wounds on his face. Yes ganders...

My Embden gander is going on 10 yrs old hatched here and has known me all his life he would bite me in a minute during breeding season .Ganders just have attitude. Gotta love them though. I do offer a little corm in my hand to my gander. But I would never let a young child hand feed one.

Yep hand feeding isn't a good idea.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/561849/geese-training They have a great memory anyone who doesn't like them and is not nice to them they remember.

So it will be interesting to see how she is with her own. But I know to do to keep her from braking others is to collect them as early in the day as you can. I have to do that here just to keep someone from wanting to sit and hatch.

How is she with her own eggs? or has she laid any yet?

No tellin what going on in her goose brain. They don't call them silly goose for nothing.

@spoilt70 how is she breaking them? My female goose loves to go in and noodle around the duck eggs but hasn't ever broken any. So I am not sure what the motive your goose has in breaking the duck eggs unless she is just too rough with them.. I doubt my goose could break any of my Muscovy's...

@TheTwoRoos Geese do the head down pointed bill as a warning to keep your distance mine do it too. Very rarely do my geese actually grab another bird as long as the rest heed the warning they are usually all fine together. Now during breeding season it's a different story I have a fenced off...

So 90's is nice weather for you @gander007? lol I guess so if temps were 114* how does your birds do in those temps.?

Your taking a risk preds can climb and dig but all we can do is give advise it's up to the member to take it. What breed are they do you have pics?

@TheTwoRoos Please don't get 5 month old geese and put them out on a pond. They are still young and will need protection from preds but even when adult they will still need night time protection. They really don't have any defense against snapping turtles snapper have been known to bite feet...

My 4 geese use a large kiddy pool @johnt77 Welcome to BYC

Oh my goodness they are adorable. Well thankfully you are there to rescue no telling where the lil ones would end up.
