    How to pick up ducks and geese?

    Hello, I have 4 Chinese brown geese 2 Cayuga ducks and 2 muscovies. All of them panic when I pick them up, and I was wondering if there's something I could do for them to warm up to me more and be more calm when I pick them up? Or if there's any better way for me to pick them up :love

    What breed is this?

    I just bought these four goslings from a swap (how could I say no to those faces). I’m not a goose connoisseur so when she told me the breed it went right over my head, I only remember her saying they’re possibly mixed. Thanks in advance!

    Male goose pulling female’s feathers.

    We have a set of 6 weeks old Embden geese (male and female) Recently When the female bathes in the pool they have, the male comes over and picks a mouthful of feathers of the female and eats them. He only does this when she is in water. She obviously does not like it. Thoughts?
