Anyone have experience with Canada Geese?

Hey everybody I just hatched a cute little canada gosling and was wondering if anyone had any experience with them? Any pointers or advice?

what kinda permits are required to keep them if you hatch them yourself?

 

[Friend2Fowl]

The same that you would need for any protected wild waterfowl. You need a federal permit to keep canada geese, and they also have to be rendered flightless.

They are load, poop everywhere and enjoy getting sucked into air crafts, honestlt we have thousandss and for so odd reason chickens are not allowed to live in a coop, odd because these water beasts are way out of control.

Do you think he will fly away when he gets older?

 

[Friend2Fowl]

Yes, that's why domesticated canada geese have to be rendered flightless.

I have raised wild geese and when imprinted, they will not fly away unless spooked, thus being accidental. Migration is not instinctual. Imprinted groups of incubator-hatched goslings are not going to fly in v-formations as soon as fall hits. Clipping their wings and keeping them flightless is simply precautionary because people don't want them getting away and damaging other peoples' property.
