Looking for a breeder of geese

[poultryfan73]

I am planning on getting Pilgrim geese this spring and i am going to start looking for a breeder of good show quaility or just decent quailty goslings or eggs that they will have for sale this spring. Any response would be very helpful!

I would look at Holderreads.com I think they have Pilgrims.

Holderreads has some of the best waterfowl in the country. They are not a hatchery per se.

Oh i didnt know this. Do they sell eggs as well?

I dont believe so. I think they just have day olds in spring and adults at this time of year.

I looked at their website. They do not sell pilgrim goslings.

I think I heard that Metzers bought all of Holderreads pilgrims. You might check with them.

Their website says they will send as few as 2 ducklings or goslings. The website should give all the information or contact them to find out. Sometimes there is an extra charge for whatever they use to keep just a few warm during shipping.
