Pomeranian Goose Breed Thread

[PsycoPeep]

I was wanting to get a trio, but my husband said that they mate for life and so they'd only pick one female and the other would be an outcast. What do you guys think?

Also, if I got a pr of gray and a pr of buff, can they breed together? Or is it bad for the colors?

I had a trio of Poms ( a male & 2 females) that did just fine together. Both females laid fertile eggs.

Grey and Buff can be bred together. If I remember correctly breeding a buff male to a grey female will produce buff females and grey males & a grey male bred to a buff female will produce all grey offspring. The males in both cases will be carriers for buff. Someone correct me if I have gotten this incorrect.

Have a question about goslings, not exactly about Poms but related. In the past I have raised Poms, no other breeds of geese so identify goslings isn't something I am good at. I received some gosling today which aren't supposed to be Poms but they are marked just like the Pom goslings I used to hatch. These goslings are Americans. Finally the question: Are there other breeds of geese that the goslings have Pom marking when they hatch? I thought only the Poms had that distinct marking.

Thanks for entertaining my question even though it isn't exactly a Pom question.

How much are these going for?

Which ones? The Grey or Buff poms? It will depend on the breeder sometimes, the criticality of the breed, and the age, straight-run, or sexed pairs, or even purchasing eggs. I have paid as little as $25.00 to as much as $100.00 per bird. Grey Poms are easier to find than Buff Poms, though the Pomeranians are are critical in number breed. I do Pomeranians and Americans, both critical breeds. Their season is pretty much coming to a close, where we are getting warmer.

We had a splash Seb hatch here who looked a lot like a Saddle when it hatched so... we think she is a splash for sure at this point anyway. Some folks even thought she was a saddle Seb but no... her head is flecked with grey but is otherwise white.

I met some very nice African Geese at the poultry show yesterday. Something about their faces is appealing.

To add my two cents about trios etc. The geese I have here are not bonded. They mate but are not exclusive. If another female or male comes along this year we have a chance for 'true love' but it isn't here and isn't stopping them from procreating. After breeding season I expect everyone will integrate as a flock.

If anyone is willing to sell any, will you please PM me?

I have 13 young geese for sale and a dozen eggs due to hatch in a couple weeks. I have never shipped and live in Ohio. any chance you are coming my way?

 

[gardengoats11]

I now have a Buff and 2 Grey Pomeranians thanks to Fowl Menagerie. They have integrated into the existing goslings and ducklings fine, but they are a little bossy.

I was hoping someone was going to volunteer who the breeder was in Maine that Poms were gotten from but now I will formally ask: who did you get the Poms from in Maine???

Sasa-sorry didn't understand what you asking.  Got my new 4(2 gray &2 buff saddles) from the same place as Englewood Hills. which is Little Spring Farm in Maine. Found them on line.try littlespringfarmcroft.com 

The above in Maine may be the person.
