Alright...So long story short I brought my husband home a goose for Christmas dinner. Only his reaction was not what I expected...
he actually was disappointed that I did not get him a female goose as a pet...
So, now that I feel good and bad, I want to figure out what breed would be the best to get for my husband next year to make up for my...woops, even though he is now looking forward to Christmas dinner.
I would prefer something on the quite'er side, something friendly that wont chase you, and something that wont fly and go bother the neighbors who is terrified of birds. the last one is a huge must as that was there only request when we started getting chickens and ducks.
When I started my research I found three breeds that pretty much fit everything.
The Buff goose
The Large Dewlap Toulouse
And the Pilgrim
And now I am trying to gather more info about them and possibly others so that I can pick what breed to get him accordingly
Also, can we get just a single goose if we have ducks and other poultry for it to live with? Or would it be ideal for there to be two?
