Mine are in a pen. The male is the white one.

The majority of our geese are pinioned, but the full winged geese, we either clipped the wings when they were new or they were raised here.

I like having some birds that can fly. We have a few Barheads, Barnacles, Ross, Snow, Egyptian and a pair of Magellans that can fly.

Wish I could get photos, but my camera isn't that good. Tried to get photos of a European Shellduck that was doing laps over the trees the other day.

I try to sell off that years hatch to help my hobby pay for it's self, and if you make out on top that's awesome. If not I still love keeping my birds so it's always a win win for me.

Im with you J3172

Also Randy have you had any luck with your Magellans breeding? If so could you give me some details either here or a PM. Thanks Shawn.

My Magellan geese are not old enough to breed yet. I only have the one pair, hoping to get a few more as I like to keep more than one pair of anything.

The person I bought mine from has at least 6 prs in a big communal pen together most of the year but during breeding she said they all have to go in separate enclosures or lots of dead birds
