    When do geese give up?

    For context I asked for two girl goslings so I didn’t have an issue with breeding but it is what it is and I love my goose and gander as they are. My geese have grown up and are getting it on. They’ve built a nest and are laying eggs in it, so I’ve been swapping their eggs out with infertile...

    Is my French Toulouse developing a dewlap?

    We have three French Toulouse geese about 3 1/2 months old, two look pretty similar but one has always been smaller and seems to be growing more slowly. She’s healthy and happy so we aren’t worried but now she seems to be developing characteristics the others don’t have, like a flappy double...

    Pilgrim x Toulouse breeding

    Hi there! I have a pilgrim gander and two pilgrim and two Toulouse geese. I’m hoping our pilgrim gander can breed them all, but I’m unsure of the size difference between our gander and the Toulouse. Will he still be able to successfully mate with them unassisted despite the size difference? Help...

    New to geese: questions and concerns!

    Hi everyone! I just acquired two Sebastopol goslings and I have a few questions. I’m pretty sure they’re mixed. They’re not breed standard, but they’re just pets so that really isn’t an issue. Number one issue is one seems to have an issue with her crop. She is holding her head up like she’s...
