so guys, we felt like the muscovey was just too small for philip and we ended up giving it back. Plus it came from some million dollar ranch with an incredible live shallow creek to pond and floating duck paradise area so we just felt terrible separating it from its family as well... onto the GOOD NEWS!
we got a beautiful mixed goose today, hopefully its a gander! But its 2-3 months and right about philips size. It looks like its a mix between something and a pilgrim. Ill grab pics tomorrow. We named it luci. Since philip is probably a goose, and this one is probably a gander lol. He's super sweet, runs around after the pekins (in a nice kind of "be my friend!" way) and hasnt hissed, bit or even been slightly aggressive. Even philip hasnt attacked, just stayed his distance lol.
We couldn't be happier with this outcome. We put them away together but used a piece of chicken wire to keep them apart so they can see each other but not peck... we planned on doing this for a couple nights till they get use to each other. Any thoughts or ideas?
