pilgrim geese

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I have raised ducks, chickens, guineas in the past. I now just have Pilgrim geese for the last 2 years. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? I have had as many as 20 - currently I have 4 until hatching season starts again...

Hello all! I have 4 beautiful Pilgrim geese, nd this is their first year laying. They started about 9 days ago. I have a serious difference in egg size between them and I'm worried about incubating the smaller eggs. When I originally hatched my 4 girls, their eggs were larger like the ones in...

I am looking for poults, goslings, ducklings, and/or hatching eggs of these. I really would like to expand my flocks, I know it is early for much of them to be laying, but I am hoping some will be laying soon. Send me a PM or comment below with the information.

I adopted my neighbors geese after she had passed away. We have been raising them for three years now. We are going to move to upstate New York and are afraid to bring them due to the Coyote population. They have two prefab sheds that they go in every night. The oldest is a white male Pilgrim...

Ok. I just picked up two more pilgrims to add to my beautiful flock. I am aware pilgrim and cotton patch look pretty similar, anyone know of any ways to tell the difference? These new girls are slightly lighter in color than my pilgrims, and I’m starting to wonder if I got my hands on the...

I was quite surprised to discover that my Pilgrim eggs in lockdown (I lock down 5 days prior to hatch) were externally pipped, already, this afternoon. :thI cranked up the humidity and am ready for hatchlings, but this is 2 days early. The incubator was running a bit on the high side for...

Just when it feels like it may never happen, I woke up this morning to see that there were 6 (7 at last check) externally-pipped eggs in the hatcher. Of course, I know they could take up to 2 more days to hatch...:th It's technically day 29, and based on the size of some of the pips, I'm...

Hi! So bear with me for a bit of info, I'm new to the world of geese. I've had chickens for around 11 years, but have never owned a goose or duck, or anything of the sort. We own a large flock of chickens and are growing relatively large garden, and are hoping to create a movable pen so that we...

After almost a year of deciding whether or not I wanted to get geese, I ordered them in February. They just arrived today and I'm in love! Much sweeter and bolder than my ducklings were when I got them. These guys love to sit in my hand, eat grass out of it, and run over to me when I get near...

I just wanted to know out of Sebastopol geese, Pilgrim or Embden. I want a breed that are really friendly (and i know you have to handle them a lot as goslings to achieve that). I’d also like a breed that are really loyal and attached to me. Any suggestions?

I have three geese that were sold to me as pilgrim geese, they are one year old now. I am sure this one if female and seems like a pilgrim goose. And this one male as he is larger than the other two and has been observed mating with the grey female, but it is mostly white with brown/grey...

Hi everyone! I need some advice on what to feed my mixed flock when I put them all into 1 shared coop. I'm looking for an organic, non-gmo feed that is suitable for: 1 adult laying hen, 6 young chickens (5 weeks), and 1 young rooster (5 weeks old), and 2 emden/pilgrim hybrid geese (also 5 weeks...

I just set 10 Pilgrim goose eggs in the incubator. Am following @pete55's guide to hatching geese...it worked well for me when I hatched my Chinese goose eggs last year. I'm in an incubating frenzy! It's spring, temps are nice, and eggs are hatching! :jumpy Wish me luck...looking forward to...

I've had ducks for several years now, and I finally have the supplies to venture out to other waterfowl! I've been doing research, and I'm completely set on Pilgrim Geese. The only problem is it's too late to find any babies. I'm very experienced in raising baby ducks through the cold winter...

Does anyone have any pilgrim goslings to give / sell?

Do any of you have geese? Is goose raising easy? Do they need a pond? Please post comments, advice, and ideas!

Hey guys, About a month ago I got 2 goslings who were sold as pilgrims. They were only 6 and 3 days old and they both looked exactly the same. Over the next couple of weeks the slightly older one got a lighter face and beak and the younger one stayed dark. From what I've read, it looks like I...
