can i have mixed geese breeds?

[Dingleberry]

I have a Embeden goose , she/he lost her friend 3 months ago. I have housed her/him with my ducks but they are being #@%$ to her/him now. Question 1. Can she/he be happy with a different breed goose? 2.

Disclaimer: I have no personal experience with this, but I know someone who does. When one of her two geese died -- and I don't remember the breed, right off my head -- she found a different breed companion for the survivor. I remember seeing the two of them, happily penned together and honking. So, I think it's possible, but we all know personalities vary so much among poultry.

Sorry about your loss, and I hope things work well for you and your goose.

Not an expert, by any standard, but - my feeling is that geese like the company of other geese, whatever breed or even species. Many years ago I had Toulouse and African browns, and a Canada flock came to visit and cross-bred with them, and stayed overwinter. I don't recall whether the offspring were fertile (two genera, Anser & Branta), they sure were pretty.

Geese don’t care about breed differences, they’ll be thrilled to be with one of their own kind again.

Yes, you can mix varieties and breeds of geese.
