Hi Everyone,
I'm moving to a new house that has a fairly large (1.5 acre) pond. I wanted to get a pair of geese, but i found out from the current owners that a pair of Canadian geese have been coming to the pond for years to raise their babies. I would love to have geese, but I wouldn't want mine to disturb the wild ones' breeding patterns. It wouldn't be fair to them since they were there first. Would it be ok to get geese or should I just stick with my chickens and ducks? Also, would one breed be better than the others?
