Hello, In the past I have had Sebastopol geese that were extremly laid back and sweet. Last year I bought a pair but lost the female. I just purchased a female and her 7 wk old daughter to keep my gander company. I brought them home and put them in a stall in the barn until I could supervise...
Started my first batch of FF last week and ready to start the second round tonight. I was surprised to find how easy it is and that I am not offended by the smell. The chickens did not even hesitate to dive into it and most definatly enjoy it. I do still need to adjust the size of the batches...
