[Miss Lydia]

J's Orpingtons :

HI BYC , I was wondering does anyone know if Red Breasted Geese are Rare ?? I looked them up on the internet and they look amazing but it also said something about being in endangered !?? !

I have choose I'm definatly getting geese but was put off Chinese because some friends said they can be very aggresive towards kids ,,, But these geese seem small , Im asking this cause someone in my area is selling a unrelated pair ! But are they Rare and Endangered ?

Thanks heres a pic of some I found on internet :

If you have the proper facilities, GET THEM. That is not an offer to be missed!

As far far as pen size goes, the bigger the better. Keep in mind that when the babies hatch, you may have a change of heart, and decide to keep them.

Red-breasted are IUCN undated from vulnerable to endangered in 2007. The 1994 population estimate was 65,000 birds and the population estimated at 37,000 in the 2006 update. Seventy percent nest on the Taimyr peninsula, Russia, with most wintering along the Black Sea in Bulgaria and Romania. They should be starting the winter counts for monitoring in a month or so.
