For all the goose starters

[salshep20]

If ur wanting to start on geese I would go with an African Goose, In my oppinion they lay a good amount of eggs and have tasty and large eat portions if raised properly. They will guard u yard when ur gone and greet you every time u see them and usally bond very well with there owners. Keep in mind most geese breeds dont like to stay in coops for long periods of time thye are more of a free range bird. They forage well and take very mimimal care.

Do you know how to tell the gender of African Geese. We have one African goose.

The male will have a longer and thicker neck
and are ore aggressive than the females I hope that helps

Are there any ways other than comparing them? If you have one or 2 of the same gener, that doesn't say if they're male or female

Well, you said that males are more aggressive and have thicker necks than fenales. If you have 2 boys or just one, there's no way to compare those traits and figure out what you have since they'll be the same

What age do they start laying? Ares is not real aggressive. And her neck is not real thick, she also has a knob, she's about 9-10, maybe 11 month old.

Pictures please. Get a good one of his posture. Usually by its age, you can tell just by how they stand, hold their head or sound. Females should start laying any day now. Mine usually start early Feb.

I don't have any if that's why you quoted me. I just wanted to know if there was any actual sign they're males other than comparing them to known females

Any experience with African geese in cold climates? It’s going to be -15 degrees Celsius this weekend and my geese choose to sit out in the wind and cold instead of going in their house. I’m wondering if I need to catch them and lock them in their house at night or maybe just put them in my garage for a few days instead.
