I just made this last week for our new goslings, it has a raise-able roof for cleaning and feeding with another access door in the back, they seem to love it.

does your pump house already have a door? if so why not use it. our goose house has a regular size door and then a pop door for my chickens that use it for laying. the pop door is actually a kitchen cabinet front the frame and door that my dh brought home from work one day and laid around here for yrs. when we converted the building for the geese we used the cabinet door frame for the pop door. it is large enough for the geese to use too. they just bend over a smidge to get in.I don't know if anybody is reading this thread anymore, it's so old. I am adopting two Toulouse ganders that are about 1.5 yrs old. I building them a goose house out of what was our pump house, so it's plenty big. The only thing I don't know is how big to make the door for these giant birds. Can ANYBODY tell me???? Please?
I will be building a new people door for it, but I also want to make an automatic door for the geese that will open up in the morning and let them out bright and early. I moved up to East Texas a few years ago to help my elderly parents and sometimes I have to help my mom in the mornings. That makes me late letting the ducks (and soon the geese) out. Just today we installed the automatic duck door I bought on the duck house. I found a plan on BYC to make an automatic door using one of those car antennas that go up and down. The guy who designed it has been nice enough to email back and forth with me about it. We need to figure out what size door works for the geese, but can't make it too big or the antenna won't be able to lift it. So, they might have to duck a little bit. I can put up a sign like they have in England that says "Mind your head"!does your pump house already have a door? if so why not use it. our goose house has a regular size door and then a pop door for my chickens that use it for laying. the pop door is actually a kitchen cabinet front the frame and door that my dh brought home from work one day and laid around here for yrs. when we converted the building for the geese we used the cabinet door frame for the pop door. it is large enough for the geese to use too. they just bend over a smidge to get in.
