Geese or chickens?

[NoFlyBackFarm]

Here’s what I’m looking for:
-The most affectionate out of the two
-Best eggs
-Friendly and Docile
-Quiet
-Live longer(I know geese can live longer than chickens)
Which one do you guys think I should get? Geese or chickens?

Orpington chickens are all of that!

It's completely your choice. But if handle everyday Geese can be just as friendly and cuddly as a chicken can, They aren't the best layers, They're seasonal so you wouldn't have any during the fall and winter, Some breeds can be quiet like my saddle backs i've mentioned. And geese can live as long as a horse can, 30 yrs +

I’m wondering which one is easier to care for— geese or chickens? I’ve heard geese can be hard and annoying to care for but they seem to be great lawn mowers, and I know they can be aggressive, but I heard you can tame them.
I do have a big spare shed answer plenty of room for a pair of geese.
Which one is better and require less in general?

Come on now!!! Seriously??
What happened to the big dream of chickens?? Your killing me here
I’m guessing the presentation all about chickens didn’t go well?
Your gonna give me a heart attack
Sheesh already

I didn’t do the presentation yet!
I’m just wondering... is a phase, you know? I think of getting ducks, then geese, then turkey, but chickens always win at the end!
Don’t worry, I’m going to get chickens, if anything.

Well...I certainly hope it’s not just a phase. Too many animals are brought home and then people loose interest and the animals just aren’t cared for the way they should be. It’s a big commitment to be responsible for a animal for as long as it lives. So think real long and hard. Where will you be 5 years from now?
