Hello everyone!
I'm considering getting my first geese soon, and after doing some research I'm leaning toward a male French Toulouse and female Embden, from Metzer Farms.
However, I read an article saying that Embden and Toulouse are incompatible and would likely not breed, and would have...
Ok it’s killing me…do I have all ganders? I’m not getting eggs..I have seen 2 of the white Chinese try to mate..I know the 2 brown ones are ganders and my big white one with gray butt feathers is a gander..8 geese total. HELP lol
Hi! I have an African goose, who just started laying eggs. I know The eggs definitely unfertilized because she’s my only goose. So far she has layed 2 eggs, both hard shell but different sizes. I’m just wondering why they’re so different in size, how soon should I take them from her nest, and...
Hi. I am wondering what would the goslings be like from a pure brown female Chinese goose, bred to a pure white Chinese gander? Would they be splash coloured offspring? I have never bred white Chinese geese to brown Chinese geese so I have some questions on this. Any help is greatly appreciated...
I bought four geese from someone who claimed the geese were pomeranian geese several months ago. Then a few days ago I bought 3 geese from someone who claimed the geese were Toulouse Geese, and they said they were from a hatchery so I’m pretty sure that they are Toulouse geese. However upon...
Hey all, something really weird just happened with my goose Ryan, he's about a yr and a half old Canada goose. I was just making him his dinner, duck feed, a little cracked corn and oats and I topped it off with some meal worms. He gets that for dinner pretty much every day. I set it down and...
Hey y’all, I am gearing up already for hatching goslings next spring, and was curious on letting Muscovy ducks hatch out most of my goose eggs next spring (I only have 1 pair of geese, they are Chinese geese) and I was also wondering how many goose eggs can one Muscovy hen hatch out in a clutch...
Hello,
Sadly our sweet goose Tami was taken by a predator this afternoon, leaving her mate of 5 years Ric all alone. I’ve read that they can really deteriorate when they are alone for too long, so I’m hoping to bring a couple female companions to him. I can’t stand the idea of him being sad or...
I have 4 geese, 1 white Chinese and 3 African geese (I believe…). I am pretty sure my white Chinese is a female, and I was told that the 3 African are split, 1 female and 2 males, but I was never told which was which. Is there anyway to tell? Or does anyone want to venture a guess? The link...
I am looking for adult Pilgrim geese for purchase preferably in Ohio or surrounding states. I would be interested in a gander, a pair, or reverse trio. I am willing to pick up birds. Please direct message me through this site. Thanks in advance!
I have lost three geese in four days. The vets have no idea why and I have only had geese for about two years so fairly new. I have never had a goose get sick and die until this week. The first two geese were two year old african ganders one was found dead and the other one was just laying there...
Hello,
I have a goose and she is a little loud. Which I know that all geese are, but we live in a quiet neighborhood and I don’t want to get rid of her. She means a lot to me and is mainly loud once seeing me and at night. I have come across people using a crow reducing collars on their chickens...
Hi,
Need advice. I have two 1 week old Goslings, they are Sebastopol Geese. One is thriving and doing really well. The other I’ve had a lot of issues with. A lot smaller, couldn’t walk (have since given Vitamin B3 in food, water therapy etc as walking again). Worried as the little one is about...
Several of you let your geese do their thing, but I'm just wondering why we don't have more breed and trait related geese discussion? With so few available domestics in the states I would think this would be new ground.
We're pretty much all raising heritage breeds, but beyond these varieties...
I am getting to know my way around my waterfowls and I think I'm ready to expand beyond ducks. I'm looking for newborn goslings or fertile goose eggs in my region. Any aid towards finding where to get the eggs is appreciated!
