We just purchased 5 Pomeranian goslings. They are 3 days old and 2 weeks old. The breeder told us not to make pets of them. He said they would end up bonding to us and then later that would cause aggressive behavior. He told us the best way to raise them was just to let them be at a distance all the time from you.
I have done a little internet research and don't see yet any solid corroboration of this. Perhaps just following some good dominance practices later will solve the geese trying to dominate you? I completely agree with the thread on how to raise male geese https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/561849/geese-training#post_7245388.
Does anyone else have information or tips from their experiences? We would love to interact and make pets of the geese. They are fascinating creatures who seem very intelligent and we don't want to have them constantly at a great distance from us. I have ideas of taking them around with me to the front lawn and garden to help me weed and to hang out...
