    Mating Season?

    Thank you for the reply. At this point there's been 3 eggs. The first two were two days apart and this last one was four days after the second. Their "nest" is part of their indoor living space, and the routine for them is they go into their outdoor living area when I wake up in the morning...

    Mating Season?

    Thank you for posting this. Between then and now she ended up laying an egg. They're actually a little over 7 months old now, so I wasn't expecting this so soon. This is my first time with Geese so I'm just trying to make sure everything is done correctly. One of my questions about the feed was...

    Mating Season?

    Hi all, It's been a bit since I've posted. Things are going well with the two geese. Just some questions. The two were born in June, so they're about 8 months old now. I noticed my male doing some show-off behaviors, and today I noticed the female seemed to be making a nest in her indoor...

    Question about Feed Freshness

    I went back to the store, and asked to switch it out, then checked the new bag in the parking lot. Same thing was going on. They didn't have any bags with a different mill date, and I showed the staff. They seemed to think it's a production thing, but that there's nothing to worry about.

    Question about Feed Freshness

    Hi everyone! I just bought another large bag of the All Flock food I usually use, and noticed this time there are dark pellets mixed in with the usual light pellets. I've never noticed this before, is this normal or should I return the feed? The mill date is about 2-3 weeks ago and it smells...

    Geese and Strong Odors

    I've been reading all over about the things toxic to geese and how easy it seems to be to expose birds to dangerous chemicals. I haven't been able to get a straight answer on this, but I use things like Clorox wipes in the same room they are in at night (not directly in their pen). We also...

    Goose has bad breath

    I'm going to take away the hay and decrease the amount I use the yeast, at least for a while. If things remain a concern I'll seek out a vet I think. Thanks so much for all the help!

    Goose has bad breath

    Thank you for this, it helps a lot. So, I monitored them both pretty closely today. They just came back inside now. The beginning of the day their droppings were this: I noticed these droppings in their pen area outside from yesterday: Later in the day today, these were their...

    Goose has bad breath

    They go out and eat grass during the day for those hours, and they eat Dumar All Flock during the times they're inside. I also provide nutritional yeast mixed into the pellets. I'll also give them greens like kale and broccoli once in a while. I feed them Dumor All Flock when they're indoors in...

    Goose has bad breath

    Hi everyone, I noticed a little while ago that my male goose has pretty bad breath. Sometimes it's worse than other times, and I thought it was going away but it's not. I was reading about sour crop, but I'm not sure. He seems completely fine, it's just the breath thing. His crop doesn't...

    More Goose Questions!

    Thank you everyone for the help so far with answering my questions. I've got more! I want to make sure I'm doing everything I can the right way. My two are around 15 weeks now, I think. The routine has been they go outside in a pen I have in the yard. For two geese, there's a good amount of...

    Goose has some mouth injuries, will it heal?

    Later in the day today I noticed one of my geese had these two wounds, the one inside the mouth had a little dried blood on it. I'm wondering if this is anything to worry about, and if it'll health on its own. It looks like the sharp edge of the inside of his mouth is chipped. the other is on...

    New to Geese, a few questions that have come up

    Thank you so much for the response. I feel a lot better about the dandruff thing. Their feet seem dried out, too. Is that normal? I was reading more about the food situation. I took the label off (see attached). It looks like the range for the calcium should be between .7 and 1.2. Is this...

    New to Geese, a few questions that have come up

    My girlfriend has posted in here recently, and I thought I'd join. We have two pilgrim geese as pets that are about 13 weeks old. They seem to be doing really well! I had a few thoughts I wanted to ask a larger community about. 1. I noticed that there is a lot of what looks like dandruff when...
