We have three wonderful Chinese geese. Supposedly 2 females and a male. We bought them sexed from an online hatchery and received them by mail when they were just a few days old. They are almost full size now (born in April) with just a little down left. We keep them in a kennel outside and give them a small pool to swim in, but have been wanting to let them free during the day. They have really bonded with us and are very friendly, let us pick them up, put our hands around their necks, and they love to give us nibbles. In fact, our bulldog, Lulu, always comes with us for feeding and she'll stand so the geese can give her nibbles down one side of her body, then she'll flip around so they can do it to the other side...it's the funniest thing to watch.
We have kept them in the kennel because they were babies, but now that they are almost full grown, would it be okay to let them out to roam around? We live on a farm (11 acres, although I doubt they'd wander the whole thing.) They'd most likely stay close to the house where the dogs hang out.
