Back in march my mom brought home goose eggs from someone who was giving them away to eat. I’ve incubated geese before and she thought I’d be interested in hatching them. We were unsure if they were even viable but I put them in the incubator and a few days later we had veins. The person who...
I ended up organising to have 2 more goslings since Zilla my current gosling sadly lost her brother recently 😢 I won’t be introducing them directly to the flock just yet but I’ll see how mum and dad geese react when they see them! I’ve just gotten a picture of the 2, I was told first that they...
Moghani Shahsevan goose
It is divided into two types:
1. Maghan crested goose
Maghan Crested Goose (Azerbaijani Turkish: Kakilli Muqan Qazı, in Latin: kakilli muqan qazı) is an old goose breed in the north of Azerbaijan, Iran, which probably later transferred the crested goose to other...
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...
I have a goose, Abbi, who I recently posted about being sick (she's doing wonderful by the way) and I was wondering if anyone would help me solve the breed problem. Abbi was given to me by my mother's friend, who told me she's an African, about four or five months ago.
My mother told me that...
My problem is about to identify the specie of geese I have. I ll attach photos and videos (maybe, edit: I can't). It is a male female couple. She laid 11 eggs, first ones. I am afraid that she won't broode?
She lives alone with her partner. They all have very big separate space. I am looking for...
Hello people,
I am a young guy from Serbia.
1. I grew on a farm, so I am not new to chickens, but neither to other animals.
2. Heh, interesting question. About 40 adults, three males among them. And 24 young ones.
3. Chickens, sheep maybe will have, 2 geese male and female and 3 young pigs...
So, I was waiting for someone to make this thread but I got a suprise this morning on the 1st of January 2020 which forced me to start the 2020 Gosling Hatch-A-Long :)
I've never had a goose egg this early and everyone here is suprised but yet again not suprised because the mating, fighting and...
I have 4 month old gander who I got from a breeder, but she said wasn’t sure if the egg was from her American Buffs or Buff Dewlap Toulouse(only two possibilities). I’ve been leaning toward Toulouse ever since I got him but now I’m not so sure. Any second opinions would be much appreciated...
I'm looking into getting some geese to raise for meat and I was wondering if anyone has any good links or book recommendations.
I'm looking more for how to better the geese you already have and what to look for when selecting breeding stock. Would it be similar to selecting chicken stock...
Is there truly a difference between geese marketed as super african geese and geese marketed as african geese?
I was under the impression from some of the hatcheries that super Africans are bigger and stronger than normal Africans but then I also read somewhere that they're the same.
So I'm a...
Hi all!
After nearly losing one of my pet ducks to a hawk the other day, I am strongly considering getting a goose to help ward off predators/raise the alarm (my Appleyard drake is clearly not intimidating enough). They free range during the day and I work from home, so I'd like something that...
Hello everyone,
I'm incubating 6 geese eggs at the moment, it's been about 22 days but I have a problem, the person who gave me the eggs said their breed was "yellow beeked goose" but I can't find it anywhere so I don't think that's a breed name. I want to know if anyone knows what breed they...
