    Goose Not Laying Eggs

    My goose is not laying eggs yet. She laid 65 last year, starting in late February. She seems healthy. Appetite and attitude is good. She and her mate are mating daily and she even instigates "fun time" quite often. They both show interest in the nest as well. The only thing I've noticed that is...

    Mating Season Question

    My goose and gander were hatched June 2020 and did not display mating behavior until Feb 2021 which continued through middle June 2021. I just caught them in their pool "doing the deed". My concern is that the male did a good(bad) job of pulling most of her neck feathers out across this time...

    Can Eprinex cause skin irritation?

    I just put Eprinex(1cc/1ml) on the back of my goose in between her wings yesterday and now it looks like she's losing her feathers in that spot. Also known as topical Ivermectin. Could be from the mating gander, but I'm checking here to see if anyone else has experienced this. Thanks.

    N. Illinois Rehoming Goose or Gander

    I've got 2 geese that will not get along. I do not want to part with either. I hatched these birds and love them to death, but my goose is going to kill my gander. I would be willing to part with either bird. I've got one isolated in the garage. I can't even put him out in the yard now. I'm...

    Goose Attacking Gander II

    I have 3 geese. 2 ganders and one goose. A couple weeks ago, the dominant gander started "mounting" the goose. She does not like it and realized that she does not have to put up with it because she is bigger. Now she has taken to attacking both ganders, ripping feathers out and biting their...

    Geese with poor appetite

    I have 3 geese that I hatched on June 10th. Their appetite has decreased significantly in the past couple weeks. I feed them carrots, green cabbage, Brussels sprouts and leaves, cauliflower, etc. along with Nutrena waterfowl feed and a grain mix composed of cracked corn, barley, oats, black...

    New Goose Owner

    I've incubated and hatched 3 geese back on June 10th, 2020. They have been great. I'm concerned that they are eating much less lately as the onset of winter comes. Anyone know if this is normal? I've been watching this website from afar and it seems like a great source for info and advice.
