Housing for Geese

What you have for your ducks should work for geese. If you can convince them to be on land at night I’d put them in electric netting. If they know that is where their dinner is and you train them you should be good with minimal prodding.
I did have a fox get tangled in netting but no experience with coyotes trying to get in. We have lots of them but I think they are avoiding my donkey.
I would not put them in something sized proportionally like people use with chickens. Too small. I did leave them outside all winter once (MI) with straw windbreaks and a 3foot tall chicken tractor deeply bedded that was under mature evergreens, and they almost always hung out under the trees. They refused to use the tractor when a bad storm (sub-zero temps, snow, wind) was coming and I added clear plastic to the sides. So now they spend most of their time in my barn during the winter. I leave the door open for them during the day but they caught on that staying inside was more comfortable. But it is a big space. And the 10x10 stall has bars at 4 ft which makes it more open.
Watch P Allen Smith geese videos for a nice setup if you want a building.
I can't find any P Allen Smith videos about housing... care to share a link?
