    Metzers gosling sexing?

    Gamebird Starter for Goslings and Chicks?

    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...

    Gosling ID help

    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...

    What should we do when spring time breeding comes?

    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...

    When can I let my goslings free-range unsupervised?

    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...

    URGENT!!! What are some characteristics that can differentiate a male and female White Chinese goose?

    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...
