New to geese

[charlieball]

Hi all,
Myself and my husband have just got some embden geese 2 geese and gander. They are about 3 months old and have been with us a week now. Even though they seem quite happy to be around us we would like them to be more friendly with us.
How would we get them to hand feed?
There very good on ready. When we say " bed time" they trundle off to the out house we made up for them.
1 really likes me talking to her and comes a little closer when I do. However we still can't get very close without then waddling away.

Welcome! This is a great site to help answer questions and help other as well! Have fun, love your babies! Had geese as a youngster, they weren't all that friendly with others but they loved me. I have ended up with a couple of roosters, just been socializing them as much as possible with men, women, children, dogs, cats, horses, and anything that crosses by!
