Found Goose - No Idea What To Do

[Miss Lydia]

With the amount of predators every where the best way to protect our geese etc is to have a secure place for them to sleep.
If you decide to keep your sweet goose and find out it's a she getting another female would work too but if you want goslings then a gander would be a better option.
We just lost our gander in Feb he was 14, his mate Missy has surely been grieving but she has now settled in with the Runners and Buffs and I believe she is past the grief. They are def very special birds. Intelligent also.

Oh Miss Lydia, I'm so very sorry to hear about your gander. I did not know he passed.

Thanks, it just happened way to fast. I think he chewed on some metal and might have gotten some fragments off

You have always been a huge part of my life on this website Im sure you were a huge part in his life and my guess is he had a great one better than most ganders could ever wish for.

That’s very sweet to say. I sure did try and Give him a good life. And reading your posts I can tell you love yours too. Even when they are ornery it’s just hard to not love them .

From what I know ducks love those floating houses, I have no idea if geese do. Most geese have difficulty wanting to go into a shelter that isnt a bush, so I wouldn’t have high hopes of them using the floating house.

Usually they have to be herded into a cage at night for their own well-being.

Thanks for the info! That is very helpful.
