I have 2 embden goslings. I think they were the very last ones born in the area. They are right around 4 weeks (born 7/15). They have been having some play time outside since there were a couple weeks old (monitored) in the fence yard. We just finished their house and run a couple of days ago, so they have been spending time during the day in there when we aren't out to watch them.
Their goose house is 4x8 foot, 4 feet of walls and then about 1 foot of hardware cloth for ventilation around the top + a 7x8 predator-proof run (fully covered, 1/4 hardware cloth around everything, all spaces smaller than 1 inch) off the house, so they go in there when we can't be with them. It is in the 80s during the day, so I don't worry about heat then, but I am wondering if next week, at 5 weeks, they can start spending the night outside. The lows are 66 - 68 degrees.
Please ignore the door - it is even, but the run isn't since we live in the mountains.
