And guineas, dont forget the guineas. Rancho Davaroo will be a noisome place.

Works for me. I can see geese, now, running amok on my place.

Well sky, Im not convinced grains are bad. Now if they get along without grains, that is good for different reasons than some fear of grains. During a grain shortage, for example, this could be a big plus. But t wouldn't hurt my feelings for my geese - or any other critter - to eat some...
