    What Goose Breed is Right For Me?

    Hi! I’ve owned geese before (two White Chinese geese). One male and one female, the male was quite aggressive so I’m looking to only get female geese. I’d like them to be good “guard dogs” as I have had a hawk who killed one of our chickens and I don’t want it happening again. Also, I had four...

    Greetings from Oregon

    Hello, I guess introductions are in order first. I didn't set out to become a flock mother. It was thrust upon me by my own live-in parent. But seeing as I do the bulk of the bird care, it seems I need to seek out the advice of other parents of feathered creatures who are much more experienced...

    Ducks and Geese Disappearing

    This summer, three of my ducks disappeared within a matter of two weeks. Then, two more disappeared a couple of months ago. They have all disappeared sometime in the middle of the day. Not a trace was left of them. No feathers (or any extra that I could tell when they were molting). They are...

    Deformed Sebastopol Geese

    We took in three Sebastopol geese and two of them have deformed wings. We have been told by Cornell’s exotic department and another vet that it is not angel wing but no one knows what it is. They act perfectly normal minus their wings are bent downward. They can stretch them out and lift them...

    What do you recommend to learn about fowl?

    I’m interested in learning about all the species of fowl. Does anyone have any media to recommend? Guinea fowl, geese, chickens— anything at all.

    Goose egg hatching, best incubators and methods?

    Hello All!:frow I used my nurture right 360 to hatch my first few goose eggs, and it worked great! Its too small to hatch a larger number of goose eggs, so I got a GQF cabinet incubator to be able to do more eggs from my flock. I was curious how seasoned hatchers hatch their goose eggs? During...

    Sick Pet Goose, do I need a vet?

    My white chinese goose has been sick for nearly a week, right after she started laying. She has some kind of egg sack-looking growth on her abdomen, but i’ve read that it’s normal. My goose is very loud, social, and an eating machine, but now that she’s sick, she barely eats, barely talks, and...

    My goose died and I don't know what went wrong

    I'm new to this site so I apologize if there are any errors. I have never raised geese and I bought a pair of goslings back in June. I have been keeping them in my garage until they grew their feathers in and now they live in my fenced yard full time. I lock them up at night in a coop for...

    What to do when you first get waterfowl?

    Am I just overthinking this- or what do we need to do to “settle” ducks and geese into living at our farm pond? Do they need to be locked in a pen up there before letting them roam the pond? If so how long? After I have waterfowl living there and want to introduce new- do I need to follow the...

    Sebastopol experts? Curious about my new Sebbies…

    Hello! Just got a new Sebastopol pair, they aren’t super curly, not sure if there is any way to tell if they are pure Sebastopol or mixed? I have pictures. Anyone have guesses? I’m more of a pilgrim goose lady so I just don’t have experience with sebbies. They have wonderful temperaments though...

    How to integrate new geese with existing flock?

    Hello BYC Fam! I have two female 6 month old Pilgrims. They had a gander (my beautiful baby boy RIP) but he sacrificed himself to save his girls and is in goose heaven now. The two girls were entirely dependent on his leadership and his protection and are incredibly distressed by his passing...

    Chinese geese (new member)

    I have 3 males and two females (siblings) needing homes. I’d need to see evidence of PIC required before I’d let them go. The females lay have laid about 40 eggs per year. They are beautiful animals and quite happily settle nearby me when I sit in the paddock (on a chair so I’m “bigger”)...
