What different types: Geese

[2txmedics]

Can you all post pictures of different geese you all might have? Im new to ducks and have 4 4wk old ducklings and have fallen in love with them, also have 32 chickens....but I was reading that Geese keep away Hawks and things, and I'd like to know what different types there are out there, Ive seen some that are pretty in pictures, but I dont know which is what.....

Can you all please post them, and also tell me if they can live with ducks, chickens, do they eat different than ducks...etc...oh! also do they need a partner or is it ok alone with ducks....

thank you!

So how many types of Geese are there? I did find a old poster in a TSC, and only saw 4...is that right?

I have Seabastopol and pilgrim ( see My Page for pics) or you could go to a site like Metzger Farm's web site ( should come up on search). They have lots of pics and charts that compare geese characteristics.
