Welcome!

You might want to say hello on the Aussie thread where you would be most welcome: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/598568/australia-six-states-and-that-funny-little-island

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun. Unlike non chicken loving friends, family and colleagues, BYC’ers never tire of stories or pictures that feature our feathered and non feathered friends

Welcome, how I would like to be there right now.

It is -34 here right now! Need some warmth and sunshine.

We have a niece and her husband and toddler that lives there! Maybe someday get to visit.

How are Chinese geese are they friendly and docile to be around little kids? Toddlers. We got white geese one time and all they wanted to do is severely attack. Very dangerous! Would love some geese for extra watch dog type behaviour against wildlife but not if they are cranky!

They know their own people but God help a stranger or a venomous snake. We took their eggs away as the previous time to rats aye their young. Now we have to work out how to introduce 3 months full sized partially feathered youngsters.

We have a climate controlled room for hatchlings, then a closed brick building where they all go to next separated of course and then to the gender separated pens where they morph into adults. At this stage the geese are at stage 2.

We don't cuddle them like the ducks but they dont attack. You can't beat the KC ducks for mates.
