Well my goose pen use to be where my dh parked his Harley but has since moved it to a new built building outside of the fenced in area. [didn't want to give them a heart attack every time he cranked it up]. but here are some pics of outside and inside, i only have 2 geese so this is perfect for them.









My Muscovy drake came in to show me where the best shots were.

Nice Miss Lydia. Is it just the geese in there or do you keep something else in there too? (I saw the perches) I'm having problems with my goslings climbing through/over my makeshift barrier into the chickens area (the muscovy hens roost with the chickens now). Maybe I can make something more like you have.

The nest boxes for the chickens are in there and I have 2 teenage Muscovies and a Bantam hen and her 2 chicks in there thats why we made the stall for the geese, My gander will not tolerate a mama hen and chicks so close. I put wood slats across part of the stall because my new goose was climbing over and out then I had made a barrier out of plastic poultry netting to put between my gander and goose until he got use to her, now I put it over top of them at night since they don't have to be separated.

Lydia, beautiful pen!!!

Silverfox, I have different set-ups for different groups. My favorite is my special needs pen. It is 25x25 and houses 4 juvenile dewlaps, 3 of which have medical issues. It is in my backyard where my dogs have 24/7 access. It is made with pvc tubing, hardware cloth, zip ties and fiberglass fence stakes. There is a 2nd triple strand electric wired fence around that fence, set off one foot.

Great looking little goose house. How large is that inside stall that you have for the geese? I have a trio, so I would need something a little bigger than for 2 but it would give me a starting point.
