We also lost our beloved "Honkie" goose at only 5 yrs old to what we suspected was egg peritonitis. And of course we also beat ourselves up for not noticing earlier - in spite of vet treatment we couldn't save her. But just remember, keeping pets always comes with heartache and guilt when they...

I came across this in an email the other day, and I can't stop laughing. Pity it shows a goose and not a duck, but I'm sure a person with this phobia doesn't distinguish between the two! Personally, I'd rather be "watched" by a duck than a whole lot of other things I could think of ...

Our geese live in our garden in "suburbia" so with no predators other than cats, they were allowed to roam around all night, which they did. Once their eyes are adjusted to darkness, and if they are in familiar territory they seem very happy to "patrol" - they grazed, swam on their pond, and...

Thanks everyone for your kind words, info and support. We are so glad we've joined this site - what a wealth of knowledge and experience (not to mention the support and hilarious stories). Geese are such wonderful characters, no wonder they enrich our lives so much. We have come to terms with...

Hi all Firstly thanks for the wonderful forum - we have found answers to lots of Q we've been asking ourselves, just by reading through all the threads and posts on your goose forum. We are goose lovers and until recently owned a pair of hand-reared Embden-type goosies. Sadly we've just lost...

I am new to this site and forum and have joined in the hope of getting some "first-hand" information from all the goose-lovers out there. We recently lost our beloved pet goose, Honk, to what the vet diagnosed as an oviduct infection. We treated with Baytril antibiotic for 3 days but she...
