Embden Sebastapol mix
I have an Embden gosling and am hopefully expecting a Sebastapol as well. Are they able to produce goslings together when mature and if so, does anyone have any photos of what they look like? I can’t seem to find any online.- SheInShenanigans

New Goose Owner Questions
Hi everyone, I’m brand spanking new to this site and to bird raising. I had so many goose eggs…the first three I incubated were all bad. One blood ring, one infertile and the last showed signs of infection. I felt ripped off by the seller, who only mentioned the eggs were “older” and that...- SheInShenanigans

Ducks and a Goose?
Okay, I have read so many mixed opinions on keeping a single goose with several ducks. It seems like for many people it works well and others say it's not good for the goose or that it all depends on how much space you have. I am getting 4 female ducklings (1 silver appleyard, 2 welsh... -

Help sick dame Sebastopol
Please can you help me- my 3 year old goose is suddenly not moving and seems very lethargic. I have checked her over but no injuries or obvious signs. She just sits and does drink water. She laid a clutch of eggs and they disappeared (dogs?) before she had a chance to sit on them. That was 2... -

Goose - vitamin deficiency??
Hi there. I’m writing to seek advice about my female goose (almost a year old, just started laying a few weeks ago but has since stopped). For the past week or so I have been treating her for what I suspect is a vitamin deficiency. I noticed she was eating a lot of dirt, and then she stopped...- ChloeOlivia

Tips on dealing with a particularly aggressive momma?
My girl, Hetty, who’s just hatched 3 goslings is definitely our LEAST trusting goose lol - I think I’d mentioned before that she came from a farm where she had practically no human contact, no water to bathe herself, no shed room etc and she absolutely HATES people no matter how comfortable... -
Cute/funny gosling update 💖
Didn’t think I’d be letting my girls go broody again, but when Hetty settled on her nest we figured it was too late to persuade her off 😅 we’ve ended up with 3 lovely looking and, so far, healthy goslings! Now the first issue is that Hetty is our most defensive goose, we got her from a farm... -
🌙 Possum Drama at 4AM – Meet Ray Ray
So here’s how my early morning started... Around 4AM, my rooster loses his mind, crowing like the world’s ending. Then I hear my 6-week-old goose honking like it’s being chased by a ghost, Ducks quacking, chickens flapping — the whole farm is losing its feathery mind. So of course, I fly out...- Windwalker79

🍉 Watermelon Wars
There’s peace on the homestead... until someone cracks open a watermelon.

Having geese with chickens
I've got eleven hens and two roosters but am currently waiting for more hens, I know it's not a good ratio. I was looking on the Meyer hatchery site and saw a bunch of breeds of geese. I'd never get a single goose (even if I wanted to, Meyer has a minimum of 2), but I have some questions. If a...- donteatbees

Goose vomiting, not eating, but wants to.
My 3 year old Embden goose has been very picky about her food for the past 2 weeks or so. She'll eat the food, but not as happily as she usually does. I give her a combination of grass, dandelion greens, crushed corn, whole corn, and she has constant access to fresh water. About 2 hours ago, I...- CrazyGooseLady2000

Looking to Rehome a Gander
We are looking to rehome our Pomeranian gander due to conflict with another gander in our flock. He is more skittish around people and generally his aggression towards us is just a bluff.

This morning, I was getting ready to make a goose egg (and chicken egg change) omelet when I saw what I think is a bullseye. I’d like y’all’s opinions on if it is or not.

Limping Buff goose, no apparent cause.
Hey, y’all. I noticed yesterday my ~7 month old Buff goose had a slight limp. As of today, her limp is more noticeable, but she’s still getting around alright. She has no bumblefoot, and her legs feel about the same to me. She eats as much Mazuri waterfowl feed as she’d like, though her grass...- KathiQuacks
