They are adorable, and a bit young for much training, geese want to put everything in their mouths since they don't have hands to feel with. Biting and nipping is normal, just make dicipline appropriate to age, but for when they start really getting bold here is an excellent link to training alot of us have had success with. Sorry not sure on breed, but they sure are cute. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/561849/geese-training
My first goslings.......and poults and ducks(not my first chicks) Don't worry, they've been split up into 2 brooder pens...1 for terrestrials and 1 for waterfowl! Wow, people aren't kidding when the say those water birds are messy!!!!! These are just feed store babies and were listed as "assorted". Am I right in guessing these are probably Toulouse? They are about 3wks now and we LOVE them!!!! I would like to ask what behavior I should be squashing at this point. They like to come up to us and talk back and, like puppies, take everything in their mouths! They pull on our pants frequently and if they get too exuberant I just kind of lightly grab their bills or tap the top with my finger (again lightly). We can't get over how much personality they have and, dare I say, intellegence we see in those eyes! DH still has no hope that they won't be evil!
It's possible. Depending on the beak type they could also be Brown Chinese or African Geese.Am I right in guessing these are probably Toulouse?
It varies. Most breeds are too heavy to actually fly but the lighter breeds can sometimes get off the ground for a few yards.are geese have flying abilities as compared to ducks?
