Hi everyone.
I live in Manchester, UK and have 2 geese. I first hatched chickens back in 2021 and they were both roosters so off to the rescue they went. (We're in an urban area, they were loud and we had sorted it just in case.)

We now have 2 geese that we hatched, their names range from Goosicle, to Geeps, to Babies, to Bruce, Peep, Poopers, Honks, Honkers.. you name it!

They are both 4 weeks and 2 days old and Embden x Toulouse. We adore them even though they stink 😁

We were super lucky hatching these little guys (or girls) and we really really want to get hold of some nappies for them.

We have 6 cats, a snake, a leopard gecko and these, our babies. I had a vision of my geese wandering the house and the garden, curling up on the sofa with a cat and a cushion... definitely not going to happen but it's a dream!

Anyway, it's nice to be here and to hopefully connect with other goose/chicken mamas here or a across the pond. 👋
 
Geese are the BEST!

However, you're right -- the dream of having them curl up with your other critters is unlikely. My two girls are extremely bonded to each other but have no interest in bonding with any other birds -- or the stray cats who have taken up residence in the yard.

One of their favorite "hobbies" is walking up behind the unsuspecting runner ducks and "herding" them across the yard, at random times for no apparent reason.

Welcome to BYC, where you can meet and swap stories with plenty of other folks who think geese are great!
