Not new to geese, but new to breeding them. Our first attempt at breeding a pair of buff geese failed due to the minor detail of them both being ganders ... Oops.
Starting fresh with sexed pairs from metzers. We have two pair of buffs and two pair of pilgrims. Still fuzzy babies, but we are planning ahead for next winter and spring. Obviously we'll need to separate them into their breeding groups, but how soon does that need to happen? We don't want them to bond with the wrong breed and then refuse to mate with their own breed. Or do they not bond until mating?
Any insight would be appreciated, and rewarded with pics of the fuzzy things!
Thanks,
Amy
