Alright, first thing's first, we have been thinking about getting a goose to be with the flock of ducks. I know a lot of you have geese, so I figured I would ask q's here. Can you keep just one goose with the flock as a sort of "protector" ? Do they get along with ducks alright? What about brooding them? Can they be raised alone inside with us until they are big enough to go out with the ducks? Is there much of a difference between brooding geese vs. ducklings?
And last Q, do you guys know who is still shipping out ducklings this year? We were hoping to get a good hatch from Izzy's eggs, but I doubt many if any are viable (no obvious movement or sound at 28 days incubation). So now we need some ducklings to break Izzy's brood, and to allow us to add to our flock.
A few feed stores still have ducks, but most are Pekins or Rouens and we would really rather have Saxony ducks or Swedish ducks. Not sure where we could still get a shipment out. Any ideas??
