    Bizarre gander behavior

    2 ganders (both 9 months old and related) chase away all female geese except one. The 2 ganders and 1 goose are an inseparable group. The other 3 female geese are now in a different, adjoining enclosure because they are scared of the males that now charge the fence divider (necks down and...

    Geese laying eggs in winter!

    So, woke up this morning and found 5 goose eggs in the barn. Very confused, as I heard geese shouldn’t lay until at least spring? They are particularly young geese, 2 of them, though I’m positive they’re the age to lay. Any ideas on what this could possibly be?

    Questions about my geese.

    Hi, I have a couple of questions about my geese. My first question is about their food. This morning, when I checked on my geese, I saw all their food on the ground. Is that normal, or do I have to get a heavier bowl? My second question is about their water. I don't know if my geese can find...

    Back in April i decided that my sweetheart pet goose Peggy was lonely and needed a companion thanks to the help of some people on this site. I ended up getting a young gander named Reggie along with two little ducks and they have their own area with a pond. Things were fine until around August...
