Are you interested in any particular geese? I have African and Chinese geese. 4 of each. I brought the Africans as sexed females, and the Chinese are straight runs. Was hoping for 2 males but so far only know of 1 male, Snow. One of my youngest Africans has leg trouble, I'm trying to help her but I may have to cull her if she don't improve. Which saddens me, a lot. I thought she had the beginnings of Perosis, so I have been giving vitamins and minerals. I know it's not niacin as she and all the geese get that regularly to prevent leg problems. Her legs are also a grey color, which is not normal for Africans, their legs start black and turn a dark orange. All my geese are from Ideal, and this is the 2nd gosling with leg/foot problems. Another gosling, a Chinese, had 2 toes stuck together on each foot, I performed a minor toe separation surgery and she is fine now. I also lost another gosling, a Chinese to niacin defiency, now have Gertrude's, the African, leg problems going on. All my chickens and the Cayuga ducklings are also from Ideal. My rooster and the crested ducks are the only ones from other sources, and because of the neurological problems associated with the crest in ducks, the crested will NOT breed. They can be surrogate mothers though if they wish,
Next year I am ordering hatching Chinese goose eggs from a lady on the goose forums. She has brown Chinese, pied Chinese, splash Chinese, even tufted Chinese geese. Since my Chinese are whites I am looking into the brown, pied, and splash colors for my flock. In this way I will get outside blood in case inbreeding at Ideal is the issue with all the geese leg problems, and add color to my flock at the same time. Lol. I do plan on allowing the Africans and Chinese tobreed together to increase size, bigger table birds if i can bring myself to cull the geese when the time comes. Also looking for hatching Cayuga duck eggs for next year to get outside blood for the ducks. Both of my roosters, whoever the 2nd one turns out to be, will not be from Ideal stock, so chickens shouldn't be inbred. Plus I am going to mix the RIR, SLW, BR, BO, and BA ladies to the 2 roosters to open the gene pool more. I am not worried about pure bred chickens, just healthy chickens for meat and eggs. I think @AussieChick is going to sell me 1 of her show line BA Roos. She lives like 10-20 minutes away, so it is no trouble to arrange pickup. The sire of her cockerels was 16lbs, so they should add size to my chicks next year. She also is interested in learning to cull her own birds, and I am willing to show her what I know. I might end up with a chicken lover friend close enough to actually be able to help each other out, which is great. Doing all this alone, I know more than the rest of my family at this point, has been hard and I could use some help/advice from time to time myself.
Sorry for long post. Just be careful with ordering only from Ideal. I truely believe their stock is inbred.
