GOOSE BREEDING THREAD - for breeding, incubating, hatching and rearing.

Female geese have a low pitched honk ganders are high pitched. my ganders both stand around with head held high in the air my females just walk around like normal geese. You've got to have at least one goose since your getting eggs. But they sure are making it difficult.

I'm not sure if I know geese well enough to tell if one has a deeper voice than the other. they are both really loud lol that's all I can tell you

Are you getting an egg everyday or every other day?
You could always paint their vents with food coloring to see who is laying the eggs.
Ive done it, it helps, just match the egg color to the goose with the same color butt

And you get pretty colored eggs in the process.

Far away, but this is them sitting together, saddleback is on the nest


Tufted hissing at the gate, she was running still on the nest


Yesterday's egg, do we think it's fertile?


She jumped off when I walked over, tufted ran in front and stood over the eggs hissing at me. He ended up lightly biting me and chest bumping my knee when I went for an egg.

I see a bull eye in the egg.

I seem to get an egg almost every day.

Wow!!! I have to do that regaurdless!! Maybe with my chickens too! Very cool!

Well fantastic!! I was pretty sure it looked fertile, but was waiting to hear what you guys thought! Alright, so I've got a feminine gander, who can at least get the job done.

This will be fun! I think it's really interesting and endearing to see how devoted he seems!

I haven't noticed either of them making that noise. Mostly just the loud honking and the tufted hissing.

What I also think is so endearing is the role the ganders play in the rearing of their goslings. They are just as attentive to them as the mother, which is so different than any other poultry. You'll enjoy so much watching them all together.
