In the Brooder
Im a brand new chicken owner. I'm a little nervous but maybe for no reason. Last week I got 6 pullets from Atwoods. Today, 7 days later, I got a baby goose (gender unknown), , thinking it would be a good replacement for a rooster to guard the hens and to be a great watch dog. Roosters are not allowed in the city. I brought the baby goose home and put him in with the 2 week old pullets and they are cuddling together and all is fine. The guy at Atwoods said the goose would be a great rooster replacement but not sure if he knows what he's talking about. Also, is this single goose going to be lonely later in life or will it think it's a chicken and hang with the hens? Will the goose need his own coop? Did I just make a huge mistake? Help.
