    Goose passed away unknown causes

    Hi just wondering last night I noticed one of my 4 geese had passed. He was the youngest a Chinese goose. Born last spring. No signs of an attack just curled up in his enclosure. Are there any common geese ailments I should be concerned about the rest of my flock catching? Thanks

    dead goose upon return home today

    transporting two geese

    Hi just wonder what age geese can handle colder temperatures (0ish) i have to transport two geese about 1000km. One goose is 4 weeks and the other is 3 weeks old. Wondering if they can handle the cold in a coup in the truck bed or a warmer more confined cardboard box is better. Thanks
