Wild Geese

[Waterfowllady]

Looking for wild breed geese that can tolerate up to 105 farenheit in the summer. CA seller is preferable, but shipping is doable. Canadian, Nene, Barrhead, Barnacle, Snow, Emporor, Blue Winged, etc. I have another posting on my account that goes more in to detail Here. If you dont have anything to sell but know a facebook group, website or something like that who sells 'em. Let me know!!

It is illegal to own any wild waterfowl. You can buy domesticated breeds that are also found in the wild, which I am pretty sure your referring to correct? There are hatcheries I can point you to who will sell domestic geese and hatching eggs, but it is best to find local hatching eggs, and local goslings, because shipping goslings is very stressful, and some goslings can die in the process. Local feed stores usually have ducklings, goslings, and chicks in the spring. Good luck!

Hi, I think you misinterpreted what I said, should've clarified this before. By wild, I don't mean pulled from the wild I mean a breed that isn't fully domesticated that the breeder of has to have permits to distribute but the birds still have wild tendencies. There are specific breeders for 'wild' birds that have to have permits for it and all that jazz. In my experience in shipping chicks and ducklings, I have a very low mortality rate. Maybe 1 or 2 DOA, never had more. I also source from a hatchery within my state. I would like to know what you are talking about by domesticated birds also found in the wild though

That is hyperbole.

 

[Waterfowllady]

That is hyperbole.

I agree, 50% is something I've never heard of and if you had that high of a mortality rate, reconsider your supplier

That is hyperbole.

Your right, it isn't a fact rather an opinion, I will change that. But it can happen, and is still better to get goslings local, in my opinion.

I agree, 50% is defiantly high now that I think about it. But, I ordered an there were deaths. Anyway, I will edit the post.

As a local supplier (of mutt geese) I agree!

Okay, that is kinda what I thought. Like Mallard ducks and stuff. Just had to clarify! Do you have a TSC near you? Usually they have a very wide selection of poultry in the spring. I don't know if they have any specific goslings, but I don't know for sure, you will have to check there website. I don't know much about geese or there breeds, but try and see fi you ache any local farms selling goslings.

Haha, I do sell my birds locally and I prefer it but Im never closed off to the option of getting babies shipped
