I got 2 female(I believe) Buff goslings about a week ago. They seem alittle skittish from us. They come up to the side of the Rubbermaid brooder but dont like to be picked up. They run and cower alittle in the corner when we put our hand in. We held them a decent amount the first few days and...
Took the plunge and put in a special order today at my local feed store that gets there geese from Privett hatchery for 2 Buff geese. They will be here next Thursday or Friday. I wanted a pair but she said they would only send straight run which I thought they would sex them but oh well. So she...
