I grew up with some pretty mean African geese but my American Buffs are very laid back - unless they're nesting or have small goslings.
Have taken some pictures of "Stevie" (or "Stevia" if its a girl ) and the eye sockets havent changed at all. Hes awfully cute and seems to be doing ok in the brooder. Wish I knew if I had a male or female. If a gander he'll have to spend his entire life in a safe pen. If female I think that a gander might guide and guard her well enough for them to spend some time in the halfenced acre chain link

I hope it works out for the little one, sounds like no matter which gender it will be loved and well cared for.

Miss L the peacock externally pipped & I opened the hole a little more !

I just couldn't wait to see my 1st peacock beak

All my geese are ready to hatch any day now. I have rockin membranes

Yay!!

WooHoo - 1st gosling of this next batch of 3 just hatched unassisted and its our 2nd Buff

Just free of the shell and now trying out so will try to get pictures tomorrow. Its certainly got a good sized head and a strong gosling

Kuntrygirl - don't have many mean geese only the ganders at breeding time but during the rest of the year they're all well behaved. So sorry you've got a group who are intent on showing thwir mean side

Congrats Pete, I just love the Buffs, looking forward to pics.

Does anyone have mean geese? Am I the only one with that has 13 geese that are part of Satan's army and his loyal worshipers?

Everyone's geese sound so nice and polite and loving. And then I go outside and look at mine and I see fire in their eyes. They are ready to rip a person's eye balls out and use them as marbles. I don't get it. Why me?

I wouldn't say I have mean geese, they have attitude that's for sure and Sam likes to try to be bossy during mating season, But basically they are pretty laid back. [I have been bit a time or 2 by Sammy], But he seems to be mellowing as he ages, of course if there were gosling I'm sure he would be pretty aggressive towards anyone who came near them, and he likes to bully the ducks and chickens and so does Missy. Sorry yours are mean. maybe they need some one on one time with their keeper. You know just hanging out sharing a bag of corn.
