I am curious if anyone has made or has any idea what provisions would be made for their geese or other birds in the event that something happened to them?
This has been on my mind as of late. Living on my own I am in a position to be one of those people that leaves their home and other things to...
Does anyone know if I can ad shredded raw sweet potato to the salad I give the geese at night?
I'm looking to add some veggies to their salad. They are getting romaine, carrot, broccoli on occasion, apple and grapes. I was going to add some sweet potato to some soup and wondered if I could shred...
As of late Miss Piper has taken to going to the top of the straw bales.
When I go out at night to do water and food I find her perched here, right across from the kitchen door that I come out.
She is currently in the kitchen supervising the preparation of her and Reebok and Oliver's "salad"...
I have a food question.
When I go out in the evening I have repeatedly noticed my Reebok hanging out by the kitchen door and picking the ground (garage floor) there.
For weeks I have watched her and wondered what she is looking for with that behavior.
Just now it occurred to me...the cooler that...
I have a young goose right around 6 months old.
She is a Pilgrim/Embden or Buff/Embden cross.
I bought her at two weeks old and the people I bought her from weren't sure.
My guess from her size and attitude is Pilgrim/Embden.
Sunday evening she was a bit reluctant to get out of the pond and come...
I have a new gosling that I got on Sunday past. It is 3-4 weeks old. Born in June. Tail feathers in, wings half feathered.
It seems healthy in every way, eats well, grazes, active, gets in and out of the wading pools etc., but when I put her up in the barn at night she makes a little noise when...
I've not written in quite a while but some that may be on geese as pets or geese 4 pets list will know.
On December 23rd of this year I lost my wonderful little buddy of 19+ years Jordan.
He had a wonderful day on Sunday swimming in the pond with his sister/mate Reebok.
He passed away very...
It is below freezing with 12+inches of snow accumulation on the ground here in Ohio for days now. I have been keeping Jordan, Reebok and Oliver in their house connected to the back of the garage.
They do generally go out to the pond - take a swim and hunker down in the snow. When I go to the...
I need some information on Oat stray and Oat hay.
My female goose Reebok is constantly picking through her straw.
That was ok when that was all that was used for bedding.
Their vet recommended that I put shavings down under the straw to keep their feet healthier.
Now when she picks through she...
I was wondering if anyone might have experienced this and could give some direction.
I have two 18 yr old geese. Brother sister pair.
The male had a rough summer but seems to be pulling out of it nicely;
I have been watching the female closely for a couple of months now.
She seems very thin. I...
I was reading another older thread about someone trying to tame 5 month old goslings.
A lot of people suggested peas.
Are these frozen, or dried?
I am always looking for new treats for my guys.
They do whole wheat bread, grapes, watermelon, apple.
I'm trying to get them to try oatmeal and wheat...
I need some help if possible,
I have 4 geese. I had 3 earlier this year 2-18 yr olds brother/sister/mates Jordan and Reebok and an older rescue boy Oliver that I took in 9 years ago.
In the Spring I contacted many rescues trying to find an older female for Oliver as his mate died several years...
