The egyptians looked the best to my eye of the bunch, thank you for linking this for us.

Yes I will need to research that as I imagined they just came in big and white! I have no interest in swans and yes I know they aren't geese. I just remember fighting them off in Germany to save my GSD's life.

Thank you I was assuming they would be happy in the back half of the coop on the hay without chicken roosting over their heads. You are a wealth of information and thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.

The reason I ask is my roosts are currently 50% full adding 5 or so geese (if they roost) would blow my current coop math. edit-- there is 64 feet of floor space the chicken dont use, -10square feet if the floor space needs to be poop free.

Thank you for the reply. I was expecting a heavy particulate load from them just like you would expect from ducks, but can accomodate for that in my filter design. Should they have a separate coop from the chicken or shared facilities?

The logic behind the 10,000 gallons is based on my existing pump it turns 40gpm so just 2400gph at 10 feet of head. Even though with my conceptual pond not having any head pressure.

@Pyxis what are your recommendations for a night time geese enclosure? I know nothing about geese. Or even recommendations for a minimum sized pond for them. I am thinking 10,000 gallon mimumum and a depth of 4 feet. With 2 foot deep edges for water lillies. Then a shallow marshy return for...

This post is making it so hard for me not to, and the guy's sign makes me laugh every time I see it, "Rent a backhoe operator" to get my pond dug. I would love a reason to have a pond and would love having evil geese around for predator defense as well. I'm thinking the above ground pool that...

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I am happy to hear about your smart geese!

I still want to get a mule next though as much as I respected my great great grandmas geese as a young man for predator defense(apparently I was the predator and deathly afraid of those birds). But after reading OP received a great education. BTW GGGrandma had about 30 of those evil biting things.

Sorry I keep chicken and you are plopping heroine in front of my face! I don't need more info on other species! Thank you for posting though as I would never have known geese don't speek chicken or duck!
