Hi. Today I got my goose, Lucy, a pool, but Lucy has only been in the water once when She was little, but now She is almost nine weeks old. The last time I put her in a small tub, She freaked out. Lucy has never swum in her drinking water since it's like a milk gallon with a hole in the middle...
I've read mites are a common concern for chickens. I'm a little worried about my geese getting mites. Have you guys had mites on your geese and if you did, how did you prevent it. Are mites common on geese as well? Perhaps @Goosebaby could help or anyone else who knows about parasites. Thanks in...
Hi, I have a couple of questions about my geese. My first question is about their food. This morning, when I checked on my geese, I saw all their food on the ground. Is that normal, or do I have to get a heavier bowl? My second question is about their water. I don't know if my geese can find...
Hi, i'm planning on building a coop for my goose. It's one of those triangular shaped ones. Any tips on what type of wood I should use. It's not my first time building a coop (second) but the old coop we built got pretty old.
Hi. I just bought a goose that was around 7 weeks old. When I arrived to pick up the goose, I noticed she was only being fed oats but I got her anyways. She looks healthy but i'm just worried for her health in the future. I feed my current geese flock raiser. Is there anything special I need to...
I took my goose outside to eat grass but what was strange was that when she ate a piece of grass she started to shake her head for about 5 seconds. The reason that made it strange was that when she was shaking her head, the grass was in her mouth and she was making a weird noise like a mixture...
My 6 week old gosling hisses at me whenever I pick her up even though shes not scared of eating from my hand. I pick her up slowly and I don't stand up when I pick her up because I heard that they don't like it when you pick them up from on top. I just scoop her up.
I noticed that some people prefer certain geese breeds over other's. What breeds do you guys like and why. You can say the pros and cons for the breed of your choice, for example I prefer chinese geese only because that's the only geese the hatcheries had near me but otherwise it wouldn't really...
Hi, I have a goose that's 5 weeks old so she's still a baby but I tried to let her swim and put her in the water but I didn't know she would get scared of the water so when she jumped out she kept running away from me. She's imprinted on me since I first got her and she still follows me but ever...
I have a 23 day old gosling and she makes a mess inside the house so I don't know if it's time to take her outside since it's my first time raising a goose. The weather in my area is around 80 degrees so it's pretty hot but at night it's around 60 degrees.
Hey everyone, I was thinking if my gosling will get along with my duckling as they get older. I tried keeping them together for a little while but my gosling keeps biting my duckling.
