i have 3 Pekin females ( 9 weeks old ) and 13 Barred rock females ( 13 weeks old ) i just lost 2
. - no roos or Drakes ... All are Fully free ranged and i have a pool for my ducks. they only use the coop for sleeping at night .
my only personal experience w geese or a whole flock of them for that matter was a few years ago my Fil had about 10 Tooluse ( sp?) geese and they were the meanest things ive ever been around in my life . hissing charging chasing all of it if you or your car were in 10 ft of them ... couldnt even get outta your car they trapped you in it ....ugh
so my questions are ....
are all geese THAT aggressive?
is it possible to have a tame LOVING Goose?
will it get along w my pekins and chickens ?
my ducks are Imprinted to me ... does that happen to Goslings ?
do i have to get more than 1 or will it be fine since i have ducks and chickens that it will be sharing bedtime with?
best breed for having a tame calm goose?
ive heard they sometimes act like "guard dogs" for a farm's flock... just of geese or will it get used to the chickens and ducks being "its flock"?
ive been looking some info up on google but wanted goose parents views.. lol thanks in advance!
