I was just curious! I am sure we live too far apart but I have 3 geese. 1 Male and 2 females.. the lone female is a pitiful sight. She is wanting a mate so badly that she is trying to pair up with my pekin drake and he has NO interest in her and she seems to get on his nerves! LOL I am in Georgia..
