I have two 10 week old geese, unsexed. I would like to know what normal growth rates are for them.
Background:
Same dad, probably different mothers. They were sold to me as pilgrim geese, I don't know how accurate that is because the seller's flock was not colour true and she inherited the...
I'm interested in pairs of Exhibition quality Fawn and white Runners, white runners, Cayuga, Dutch Hookbills, Australian Spotted, Rouen, and Welsh Harlequins. Also looking for Pomeranian Geese and Pilgrim Geese in exhibition quality. These are for a preservation project, though offspring may be...
Hello all,
I have a young gander and 4 young hens that all wander around my property under mild supervision during the day. My gander developed a slight limp about 4 days ago, and one of my hens developed a limp 2 days ago. My gander is now limping very noticeably, the hen not so much. I...
Just when I thought the laying season (and my incubating season) might be nearing an end, the girls began laying again. 😮
Are your geese still laying, too? If so, what breed do you have and when do they typically stop for the season?

Isn't eating
Has lost weight; he's a big boy too, so, for the...
After almost a year of deciding whether or not I wanted to get geese, I ordered them in February. They just arrived today and I'm in love! Much sweeter and bolder than my ducklings were when I got them. These guys love to sit in my hand, eat grass out of it, and run over to me when I get near...
Hi, looking for a few Pilgrim goslings. Newly hatched or anticipated hatching soon. Male and a few females. Will be well cared for pets with some ducks and chickens. Western MA area. Thanks!! 😊
Hello all! I rescue animals who need a good home and today I picked up 2 geese. I was told they were Pilgrim Geese. After picking them up I quickly realized they were not pilgrim geese but what I believe to be African Geese.
Can anyone give me some insight of what they might be as to breed and...
Please select your favorite goose breed... best pet, best egg layer, best for meat, most calm...
I have not included all breeds, if your favorite is not listed please tell me and I can add it...
Hello, We have decided to get a few geese. Have been doing some research and are looking at Pilgrims. Everything I've read is that they are very calm. One of the reasons we decided to get geese is to be noise makers (warning system) for our chickens. My question is, how loud are they...
