Im Dutch ,but now live in ireland and my geese start laying in march and brooding in a month after

The weather here today reminds me of Irish summer! Drizzle.

I know parts of the south. Where are you? Up in the north or on the beautiful west coast? Do you see a lot of wild greylags where you are?

Not to forget others on these threads in Australia! Actually I´m more familiar with Wicklow, but part of my family comes from Cork. How long since you lived in Holland? Did you see the white wild greylags there?

Well, I´m learning a lot through other people´s experiences, and passing on my experiences in turn.....here where I live there´s practically NO expertise in keeping geese, and the english books I have, good though they are, don´t cover everything. So, international is good. After all, here I am in Brazil with geese whose ancestors came from my homeland, most probably...or at least, northern europe. Where we would come across servpolice too!

Sharing experiences and supporting each other during the ups & downs is what makes this forum great. The best advice I have ever received about hatching geese came from the guy who started this thread.... Pete55.... who, by the way, lives in England.
