Anyone have experience with Buff Geese? I researched some, and it seems they are about the most docile which is important to me.
Are they loud? I have an acre, but do have neighbors. Thankfully, my neighbors are pretty laid back and even put up with a couple turkeys I had for a year, and a random rooster that wandered onto my property.
How large do they get? I assume they don't fly.
I'm thinking of a fenced off area in the back of my property (fenced with welded wire) that is connected to my chicken coop. The problem is, I have red-tailed hawks. I lost a lot of ducks to them. Will they attack full-grown geese? How do you deal with this? Would I have to put up flight netting? The field is open with no trees or brush.
The other option would be to let them free range with the chickens, but not sure how they'd get along.
Thank you!
