I’m curious how accurate people have found Metzers sexed goslings. I order 2 females (Buff and a a Toulouse) and one is literally 3 times the size of the other one (Buff is the larger gosling) - I have weighed them a few times. The Toulouse is doing well and steadily growing but from my...

Ok, so I have a beautiful African goose named Nakira. She has been dutifully sitting on a clutch of 13 for about 33 days. At around day 21 a rouge chicken egg hatched and i found the poor chick dead in the nest.
Then, about a week ago we had a rotten egg explosion. I cleaned up as best i...
Hello everyone. Just a quick question. We gave a wild gosling (Egyptian Goose) coming into the centre this afternoon. I was just wondering is we could feed her gamebird starter instead of chick feed? We’ve used chick feed before but never had success with wild ducklings on chick starter. (Our...
I FINALLY got 8 geese from the hatchery I was trying to order through, but due to some issues they were having this year, I ended up getting a mixed batch instead of a single breed. I think we got 2 embdens, a white chinese, and the rest either africans or toulouse. I'm very new to geese, so I...
Hi everyone. I’m located near Buffalo NY and am looking for Toulouse Dewlap Goslings or fertile eggs. Please reach out to me if you have anything available. I’m willing to pay to ship either goslings or eggs, or travel.
Thank you!

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the gosling seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.). Chinese geese, smaller than the others - 10 goslings total - weight is ideal for size
2) What is the behavior, exactly. Found this morning around 7am lethargic, wouldn’t walk out of pen...

This was my first time hatching geese, I had advice and instructions from the professional breeder who the parents are from, but I am by no means an expert

I have a buff goose who hatched seven goslings. Two were dead the first morning and one was injured. The injured one seems fine but can't use her left leg. It's rotated slightly at the knee and she doesn't walk on it but she will use it for balance when she runs (straight line only and it...
Hello, I have some Chinese geese. I've read that a mix between the brown and white create a sexlink. From what I've read though, I've seen people say female gosling are white, males are dark...and vise versa. I was just wondering if anybody knew exactly what the outcome was of the auto sexing...
So...it’s the end of November and it’s slowly getting colder. I would think geese mating isn’t a thing this time a year and my geese are still young, only 6 months old. I have a little kitty pool and about each day I here my gander almost do a distress call sound, almost as if he’s being killed...
Hi!
We have two White Chinese geese that are 14 weeks old. We are convinced one is a male and one is a female. If that is the case, we are planning to let them breed next spring. But, we wouldn’t keep their goslings. We would sell them at probably 2 weeks old. I don’t want to cause distress on...
My geese are almost 10 weeks old. They are both White Chinese geese. They have their own run and coop that they have access to all day long. At night, we lock them up in their coop since they are still young and we’d be worried if something might snatch them up during the night if they had...
My White Chinese geese are 9 1/2 weeks old. I really hope at least one is female. I notice that one of them stands tall, has a higher pitched voice, has a smaller vent, tends to be noisy and has a larger developed knob (the one eating grass in the picture). While the other likes to stand more...
I was planning my farm and I was wanted to have geese and I was wondering what would be the best goose breed to get. I'd like brown Chinese geese for laying (because I like their unique head knob), but are they a good laying breed? Also how much should I expect to pay for something like 10 brown...
These two goslings hatched 4 weeks ago. They come from a male white Chinese and a female French Toulouse. All 4 "parents" have been taking them around the yard to eat extra grass and bugs since they were a few days old. They are for local sale only near Houston, Texas (not for shipment).
I have a lot of ducks, but this is the first spring (in a couple of months down under) where I will Hve a female goose. And I was watching a YouTube video of a goose on eggs, and her call is quite different to what my gander and goose sound like which made me wonder whether geese have a...
