    Avian flu in Geese

    Hi all, so I took my little Joey (Embden x something goose) to the vet who suggested avian flu or something viral might be what's wrong with him. Does anyone have any experience with avian flu in geese? My goose has some symptoms, but not symptoms that I would think are common. He hasn't been...

    Are Geese Underrated?

    I have a question... Beyond a few books out there it sure seems Geese finish last in the fowl popularity contest. Like a foot note in the Duck section which turns about to be a chapter in the Chicken book calling it self "something or other on fowl". Is this fair or am I missing something...

    how to tell the age of my Embden goose?

    I have an Embden goose, Snowflake, that was introduced into our flock along with two saddlebacks in late September. She's much less skiddish than all of our other geese, who we all either hatched or got as babies. she's always had a bit of a limp, but with the snow settling in, it's gotten more...

    Septic water safe to drink?? Ducks/chickens/geese

    Soo.. our septic tank is acting up and is leaking water from the access point. I don't know if the water is cleaned or not before it gets to the access point 😐... My chicken run is a few feet away from it and of course down hill from the water 🙄. It's going into the run and I'm afraid the ducks...

    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...

    So Cricket (the toulouse) and Jellybean (roman tufted) are a out 2 months old. Cricket is making more of a honking noise now. Can they be sexed by what noise they make? I'm super duper new to geese.
