coop/shelter for geese? help!

[Goose and Fig]

I have no idea what to build for my goslings. They will be in the brooder for a while, but I have 8 of them and want to get started on a structure. It has to be coon-proof. Anyone have pics of what they made for geese? Something easy to clean & get them into at night? Thanks!

Messy little sqweeks, aren`t they? LOL. My geese are grown, so they go into my lake at night and sleep on the water. However, most any kind of strucure that is secure will be fine for them. No need to worry about rain, but they do like shade on hot days. Night time security can be as simple as for chickens, minus the roost. Love my geese, have fun with yours.........Pop

Dog houses work well. Or just four sided box.

What about winter? Should they have a floor so they aren't on the cold ground? I'm having so much fun with them already! "weep weep weep!"

They don`t seem to be bothered by cold. Guess I wouldn`t either if I was covered in feathers and down. their feet and legs seem to never have a problem also......Pop
