Hello All,
I'd like to add some geese to my flock of 9 ducks (may be more in the spring) but have some basic questions...
1. I'm going to get as day or two old chicks....how long must they stay in the brooder?
2. Are they as messy as ducks and do they require water for swimming?
3. I'd like to free range them...will they stay close to their night pen and hut or are they going to wander off...they have about 2 acres to roam, no busy streets around but some dogs that may take interest if they go to far...
Also any other information you feel I need would be great.
Nick
