I don't do hands on with mine, so I guess I'm no actual help. Others do, so hopefully someone has a better idea than me. He is a mature gander. Hopefully he's just trying to test his relationship with you, and it isn't something he's going to continue. What breed is he?lets see - i got him and his sister as
1 day olds in may 0f 2020 - so around 3.5 years now.
I sit and play with them almost daily since they were tiny. He's only bit me once or twice before. Its not so bad.
It does seem early for him to be hormonal , he usually starts around Feb.
Perhaps he's been upset with me for a few changes around here - I was very sick and had 2 surgeries this fall, and had to have my daughters take care of the animals for a while. But now Im back. and oh Im in Maryland
pilgrim! Charlie and Trudy -
My pilgrim gander was so very naughty. I'm trying another one this year with the hopes this one won't be a killer like the last one ended up being. He used to corner and kill chickens and ducks, along with his mate. Not sure if it's the breed or individual personality.
i keep my geese separated from ducks and chickens, but one day during a hurricane, I had all the birds inside my basement garage room, with dividers to keep them separated, and the chickens jumped into the goose section. when I found them, the geese were in a corner by the gate , trying to escape from the chickens
lol
My geese are kept with my goats but chickens and ducks can go in the area. They go in there more now, but still often get chased out by the geese. We have it where the chickens and ducks can get under or through fences and escape in most instances. I haven't had anyone killed since the pilgrim gander went in the freezer, but I have had to help out the young muscovy at times to get away from the geese. The geese rule the shed, and pasture here. Even the turkeys get chased when I let them out. Good thing I like the geese.i keep my geese separated from ducks and chickens, but one day during a hurricane, I had all the birds inside my basement garage room, with dividers to keep them separated, and the chickens jumped into the goose section. when I found them, the geese were in a corner by the gate , trying to escape from the chickens
My 2 chickens are the bosses of my ducks too. They’re big and round English Orpington, and when they come running at my ducks , the ducks scatter like bowling pins
One of my ganders is afraid of my ducks, especially my little Truffle. It’s ridiculous!i keep my geese separated from ducks and chickens, but one day during a hurricane, I had all the birds inside my basement garage room, with dividers to keep them separated, and the chickens jumped into the goose section. when I found them, the geese were in a corner by the gate , trying to escape from the chickens
