So sorry to hear about your geese plucking. For 17 years, I had ducks and one Pilgrim gander. He protected those ducks as if they were his babies. He was a rascal to any human, but when it came to his ducks, he was a great daddy. In fact, I named him Shadow, as he would 'shadow' my mallard duck anywhere she went. Best of luck with your geese. They can be a handful.
