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

What breeds do you raise J

I actually don't raise any to sale if we have any ducklings or chicks, not looking to have any goslings this year. They are just for us although I have sold both ducklings and chickens in the past.
How about you? you need a signature you can see mine it lists all the different breeds I have.

Why are my geese so small? Like I have two Africans and their tall free fed and have a 21% protein feed which they love but their small i am starting to wonder if my so called Africans are brown chinese

Is my question unanswerable?

 

[sourland]

I too wonder if they might not be Chinese or Chines crosses. From whom were they purchased? Have you spoken with the source about your concerns?

It's very hard to tell..if ur birds are small it could be a lot of things. Are they young? If they are that might be why! And they look like a mix to me so that might be it...the knob looks small and there's no dewlap

I got them from Murray McMurray Hatchery and actually I am gonna email them I just was emailing them about their muscovy duck eggs so thanks!

They are ten months they should be bigger I think.The hatchery said they may or may not have dewlaps I was like um ok but that made me wonder.
