Clueless Gander

[judyc]

Surely you jest. I can't believe you are serious. Steal someone's hard work and dedication? I think that was in extremely poor taste.

I hope you were kidding about stealing someone goose. That is an awful to say when people work so hard to bred a good goose and for someone to come along and just grab and go. We had that happen when I was showing cats all over the country where people would come in and look all the cats over wait until the person was taking a cat to a ring or had to go to the bathroom and then steal their beloved cat!!!
AWFUL just AWFUL......

I use to show my Siamese, Colorpoint Shorthair and Oriental Shorthair cats. Showing has been going on for a super long time. I think over 75-100 years.

African geese can have fertility problems their whole life at any age and a other tip is that year old ganders are kept forr breeding when they are 2 years old

Year old gander-20% fertility
2year old gander 90% fertility
5 year old gander 100% fertility
10 year old gander (depending on breed) 70% fertility
really old gander back down to 20 % fertility or a bit higher

this is also with females except at year one they have a higher % then males

If your right then my gander at almost 7 years should be nice and fertile. None of my gooses eggs this year were fertile she was a year old this past April. she laid 60 eggs,. I didn't look at them all but did candle quite a few after 2 weeks of sitting by one of my Muscovy's and my goose and none were fertile. and this was at beginning of her laying and at end of it.

never had fertility issues with yearling ganders among THREE breeds of geese. We must have always gotten odd ball ganders among the three breeds. Even breeds others claim to have poor fertility to low/no fertility as young birds have had no issues here.

So what's your view on a gander 7 years old C? are they over the hill or in their prime?
