My gander and goose were only 7 months old when they started mating! I think that pilgrims become adults at around 6 months old. My gander had another personality after the goose started laying eggs. He was so aggresive and overprotective that I couldn't turn my back to him!

Will/Should a goose breed with one of the ganders that she has hatched?(if the two of them are left alone) Thanks p.s. let me explain why I ask. 3 weeks ago I found my gander dead, lying streched outside their coup. He had no fight marks or blood anywhere on his body. Before his death he...

Thanks for your help Miss Lydia. Unfortunately we lost the one of the three. From what I heard from my parents(as I wasn't there the exact moment)I think that gander didn't want to kill the gosling but he was rather harsh. The two where with their mother but this one was a few meters away, the...

My geese hatched 3 beautiful goslings and I am very happy because she is only 1 year old! Today the gander attack one of them very badly and I don't know why that happened? After they hatched I let them all together with the goose and the gander. Should I separate them? Please help

Oh thank you all so much for your immediate responses! I had given them both medicines for parasites etc the vet reccomended and they have plenty of clean water! I am calmer now but I will keep an eye on her. Thanks again very very much!

6 months old and my goose started laying fine eggs! Also I was a bit shocked 2 weeks ago when I saw them in a "romantic" scene! Should I expect hatching at spring?

Thanks m8 I was a bit worried!

My goose is standing on her one feet sometimes, though se walks normally and I cannot understand if she has a problem? Is that normal?

In the beginning they were both running away if i got too close. The last days they are coming closer at me especially the gander! Goose wants to be at least 2m away from me to feel confident while gander follows me almost everywhere! I think that she is easily afraid althought we never chased...

Happy and funny moments! Geese are very nice living with, so unique and special! I would like to ask you if letting them breed would make them offensive to me, as I have read in forums! (In contrast to what you said: "but after the first breeding season here, they became more trusting, and...

Very beautiful and sweet family there m8! how old are your adults?

thanks!

Thank you for your answer livinbrazil! Yes I live in Greece, it was a miracle that I found Pilgrim type geese here! Here are two pictures of them:

Hello my name is Chris and I am from Greece and I am a happy new member of this community! Around July I became owner of 2 pilgrim goslings (male-female) that were little younger than one month and till now everything goes fine. Although I have some questions about them! 1) Should I expect...
