@Pyxis No it wasn't that they stop allerting. Just not the same if they have another goose to bond too. They will not bond to their human(s) and chickens in the same way with another goose as they would without. Therefore they are not as protective of the whole flock if they are with other geese. We did more research on the matter other than just talking to the 'vender'. We found and watched videos with other single goose owners vs multiple geese owners. Also watched a video with a guy who tried both scenarios: having more than one goose in with his chickens and then removing them and putting one. What a difference it made in the way of how the single goose reacted to predators flying over head, etc...vs how it was with another goose in the pen. They deffinetely weren't as aware of the danger as quick nor as protective of the chickens.
