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... -

Gosling noticeably larger than the other - why?
I made a post earlier about my 2 goslings arriving from Metzer Farms. Both female, 1 Buff, 1 African. My Buff is noticeably larger than my African, and I’m wondering why this may be?

My Goslings Have Arrived - A Metzer Farms Review
Back in May, I ordered 2 female goslings - 1 Buff, 1 African. On June 18th, at around 10:30 AM, the shipping label was created in TN (their secondary hatchery).
