    My geese ran away from home. Is this normal?

    My embden goose will come for treats. My embden gander is the ring leader. He won’t let her come to me. He pokes her in the chest telling her not to come. The Canada’s followed the embdens. I got the embdens full grown. They are spoiled at my house. They get corn bird seed pellets. Fresh...

    My geese ran away from home. Is this normal?

    I have a a few Canada geese that are grounded and a pair of Embdens. Got the Embdens to keep my lonely goose company. They’ve been out on our property free ranging and go into the pond at night. We built a pen for the Embdens as they’d id t know how to walk on the icy pond during winter but...

    Housing for Geese

    I let mine free range and I have a huge pond where they sleep at night to stay safe. and only put them in a pen for the winter because the embdens couldn’t navigate the ice so well. If you have protection like a pond or electric fence I suppose they could be out all night.

    Correct dewormer for geese?

    So does this mean per pound, geese get more dewormer than a goat? So for like a 20 pound goose you’re saying give it 4.6mL? Please clarify. Thanks.

    Help! Goose shaking in cold.

    You’re the one with the Canada goose right? Mine is ok on the ice so far. We have an aerator so the middle stays open. He fared ok on the ice last year and with an injury. I’m just concerned about -10 degree F tonight. He has never had to weather that cold of temp before that I know of...

    Help! Goose shaking in cold.

    Need some advice from cold climate folks. We have these geese and we let them be out at the pond free up until Saturday when we put them up in pen since we were expecting dropping temps. We made two structures for them to sleep in. They won’t go in them. It’s about 11degrees F this morning...

    Yes I should explain. Goosey had been living at my back yard since February. Our house probably a good football field away from the pond. The pond surrounded by woods in all sides. Since He was “wild” and going to the center of the pond at dusk for protection and he would still go away from...

    Thank you for the tips. I am trying to train Goosey as we speak in preparation for the shelter. The white geese seem somewhat trained already. They kind of walk toward me when I bring food. Not sure if they’re hungry or trying to overpower me lol. Just love these birds. Didn’t expect to...

    Awesome! We thought of something like an island but I didn’t know about a floating house! Our Pond does freeze up to about 75 in the winter so not sure it’ll work for us. But this is cool if we could keep the from from freezing. Thanks!

    Honk honk. That’s funny. We call ours Goosey. Lol. I’ve been feeding him daily. I don’t spend much time with him because I wanted him to remain wild. But I do speak to him when I approach to feed. He always runs away still. Makes me think it wasn’t a human that hurt his wing. . I’m...

    Aw thanks. We moved out to the country and all the wildlife have me so nervous. I’ve been so worried for him being alone out there at night. I was trying to put extra food out there for others to stay but they always left. He is so happy now. Just want to make sure everyone is going to be safe.

    Need help on housing lone wild Canada goose

    Do they need a light at night? I can run electric out there. Should it be on the same time as they are in the coop from dusk to dawn? Or should I have it set to go off in the middle of the night? Ok. I’m hoping since goosey has been following the 2 white ones around this week without a...
