So middle of last week my teenager got home from school to find a large Canadian goose trying to enter our property via foot not flight . I have the road and neighbors fenced off to keep my animals out of harms way the side is open to the woods and my backyard is open to the woods so by no means r we enclosed. But this goose came right in and joined my mixed flock. We r wondering wtf is going on because this is my and I don't think Canadian geese molt this time of year and this goose refuses to fly like my domestic geese. It's not unhealthy or hurt just wont fly and acts as if it was raised here. It has gone into the barn at night with the mixed flock and seems to be content with chickens and ducks. We aren't keeping it against it's will but it sure seems quite willing to drink from water buckets swim in a kitty pool eat flock feed and loiter around the yard all day then going into barn at night. It walks out of barn in the am right past me to get outside. Is this a wild goose who decided to take easy street or could this be a case of humans raising a wild animal then dumping it at my farm?
