    lazy goose?

    Sounds like all good advice. I will start giving them more of the feed then and see. This is the first time so everything is somewhat new to me, they are definitly different than chickens. I can't believe how fast they are growing!! When would you introduce them to a group of chickens in an...

    lazy goose?

    I've looked at the legs themselves and they look o.k. I wondered with how he waddles if there is a problem where I can't see up inside him. he really does waddle more than the other goose. I might have to look more into this. I just remember growing up we had a dog that acted this way and...

    lazy goose?

    I have a two six week old geese and one of them is having an issue. I had them in a smaller pen for a little while when they were smaller in size. I would get them out a couple of times a day and walk them. The one that I am calling a male would walk were we were going and when I would stop...

    WHY do you have geese?

    I have geese because 1 1/2 months ago my husband on impulse bought some goose eggs to throw into the incubator. He thought that we could make a few bucks on them. 2 of them survived and now I have fallen in love with them and cannot wait to see what kind they turn out to be. They are...

    overfeeding a gosling

    I should add that he likes to sit alot. He goes to a corner and just sits. He does get up and walk around some but favors sitting.

    Jethro and Bailey

    Thank you, I have fallen in love with them no matter what they are. They are so sweet, I never thought a bird would act this way to a human. They see me through their box and they start chirping. I think my hubby even has a soft spot for them to. My boys definitly do!

    Jethro and Bailey

    Do I dare ask what kind they are. Why does one have black feet and the other orange. I got these at an auction as eggs. How do I tell what's a boy and what's a girl. The orange guy seems to be more one in control. Or maybe I don't want to know if it's like telling on Chickens at this...
