What is everyone feeding their geese? I have them forage but, provide a feed. I am guessing my DH picked up the wrong thing. I had them on layer pellets. The food he picked up appears to be a chicken food small grains. I am finding lots of food in the bottom of their water which is new. Thoughts?

I'll leave them to see how she does. Robo, would I ship them via usps? I am a newbie remember?

So...now that she is laying. Now what? She isn't sitting on them at all.

Guess who's laying now?!? Miss Sally!

So my pair Asa and Sally are mating and have been for two weeks. Still no eggs... Do I need to set up a special nest? They are just barely a year old now.

I saw what I think was Asa and Sally being "romantic". They are just about 9 months old. I am wondering when I should expect Sally may start laying and do I need to make my special set up for her in their coop?

Lovely family!

Hi all, Asa and Sally are getting so big! I am preparing for the winter and I sn adding on to there coop. I have a question, not all of our property is fully fenced and because of that I have not allowed them to fully roam the property. They have a 1/2 acre area they roam. But, I can see they...

What kind and how much grit do they need? Also, my acreage oils all toasted from the hot summer, how can I supplement their foraging? I current feed Flock Raiser and lettuce. Should I give Alfalfa pellets? They seem to be thriving and doing well. But just realized they don't have a firmal grit...

Hi All! My Asa and Sally are doing well. They have a pretty good routine. Strangely they "tell" me when it is bedtime. They go right in their coop with no fuss. They have a pool and are loving the range feeding along with their Flock Raiser. I am so in love with them! I do have a...

Tonight was much better! Slowly and didn't have anyone else try to help. Just the 3 of us, they were much calmer. My hubby is tired of the droppings all over the back patio. So today when I got home he has created a 1/4 acre area for them partitioned off. They are still near us, just away from...

Wow, thanks! Will stop the spinach! That could explain the very dark droppings (black) that are staining my patio. Thanks found the heading tip... I think I am doing ok. I guess it's normal to have to herd them. They will want to go a different direction than I want. They love romain and...

I tried apricot pieces and apples...no go with my little ones. They seem to be lettuce and spinach lovers. They didn't "go to bed very easy tonight, ugggh had to wrangle them up. I hate for them to feel I am chasing them...even though I slowly walk. :(

Thanks, LivininBrazil! I have feeling they will want out in the rain but, they will have shelter available.

So, Asa and Sally are doing fairly ok. Getting a "to bed" at night has been a learning challenge for us all. I lure them in with lettuce treats. They get in and I come by to close them up for the night. Just a couple of questions: I have been giving them water at night too, correct? I live...

They run away from me when I get too close...not ready for me jut yet

They made it through the night although I didn't sleep much! This morning they see To be walking around crying(squeaking) a lot. But, they sure ate up their lettuce! I assume they are still missing Mom, Dad and the other goslings ...

I got my new babies today. A pair of 5-6 week old goslings. They are adorable. I have them outside in an enclosed dog kennel at the direction of the lady who brought them out. They have been outside at her house. I have the secure but, the "mommy" in me is worried about them and predators. I...

So I must be very lucky...a local lady here has 4 goslings(2 of each) so two pairs, giving them to me free! She is bringing them on Friday to check out and approve their new home. My first time with raising geese. I am very excited. I wanted to order online but everyone was sold out. I just...
