New Geese Mom

[MamacatPatch]

I must be a glutton for punishment but we are getting six Weeder Geese the end of March and have no idea about raising geese! We've been raising chickens for three years and raised two ducks last year.

I'm researching things now so is there anything I should know that's really different between raising chickens/ducks and geese?

I'm am looking forward to the new adventure!


Thanks!

They raise themselves. Just feed them & keep them safe.

Yes there are differences.
Do yourself a favor and see if your local library has
Dave Holdrread's book Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks.
There is a lot of info online about raising waterfowl.
I have a raising waterfowl tip page on my website.
Good luck!
