Raising Geese 101

[Small Farm]

How much pasture would be good enough for 3 geese? I will have 2 African and 1 White Chinese on about a 50' by 40' patch of grass/clover...

We have 6 geese, 3 ducks and 6 chickens on one acre and they are fine. Ducks need a minimum 4 Sq feet. I would say geese need 6

Thank you!!!!!!

You're welcome. I have seen so many different opinions but we have lots of bugs and stuff where we are and mine are free range during the day. I would say they need more room if they are kept in a pen 24/7 though. Also depends on if you feed them or they have to only eat what they find. Lol

Are there different egg colors? What does it mean by watchdog?

Yes, they are different egg colors and by watch dog they mean they will alert you when strangers show up. We have a duck that quacks (sounds like a laugh) if anyone or anything comes in the yard.

And a watch dog only. Not a guard dog
