    Free Chinese Ganders! Human bonded! Adorable!

    We bought 3 straight run Chinese, hoping we'd get at least 2 hens. Of course, we got a pair of ganders and a hen. They bonded to me and love people. I hate to part with them. But for the sake of my one hen! We already had a pair of ganders to start with! Chicago area.

    African geese and winter temps

    I have a goose shelter that closes, like a mini barn, for my 2 young geese. It's their first winter. It's down to 0° F here. Last night I kept them with a heater since it was very cold. How cold can they tolerate without a heat source? Thanks.

    Bulldog and Geese

    Can you train Geese not to be aggressive toward your dog? My dog is a 95 lb bulldog, and she is an angel with them. They peck and tug on her and she just lets them. She seems to want to socialize with them, even "giving paw" to them. Any tips how to make them friendly?

    Just got African Geese. They look so different from one another!

    Their feet are so different and their size difference is substantial. They are from the same tub from Big R in Wyoming labeled African Goose. Thoughts?
