so we have had Ziggy for 2 years now, he hasn't caused a single problem.
Now for some reason he keeps chasing the geese
He chased one geese off the property and the poor thing was near death and blinded when we found him,
We also had two ducks and they "mysteriously" disappeared. I think he chased them off too! We also just got a brand new juvenile turkey, and it just "disappeared" as well.
He insists on chasing the poor things (geese) until they're out of breath.
He has NEVER done this in the 2 years we've had him and this has been going on for about a month.
We're at our wits end and not sure what to do.
Is this just due to adolescence? Is it mating season?
What can we do...?
We really don't want to get rid of him. My mother loves him.
But he keeps LITERALLY terrorizing them and we have no clue why! He's always been Skittish and gentle..
The chickens seem to be fine
It's only the African/Chinese geese we have, (and the ducks and turkey I assume,'
Unless a hawk Got her but I would see feathers I assume, and they can't pick up a full grown Muscovy and no person could catch ducks or turkeys that fast In a free range, plus we know he chased off the goose..)
