    What a beautiful flock! One thought; if you are thinking of breeding these, you might want some male Pomeranians. Unless they are just for you, in which case it doesn't matter.

    Most intelligent goose breed??

    I am planning on getting a pair of geese to help keep an eye on my mixed flock of ducks and chickens. I currently have an American Buff, or Buff Pilgrim, not sure which. We love our goosey, but he's pretty timid for a goose and not super bright. My question is: what breed of goose would you...

    Tula, Emporda, Normandy and other unusual breeds

    Anyone heard of anyone raising Faroese Geese here in the US? It looks a bit like a Pom, but supposedly from Scandinavia, one of the oldest domestic geese in Europe.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faroese_goose#/media/File:23_May_-_2009_Porkeri_018.jpg
