Hello,
My wife and I are new to this. We recently order 1 dozen mixed sex Emden geese for meat (all female was not an option).
We are wondering if its possible to slaughter the males before they reach maturity?
We would like the flock to be mostly female and in a perfect world would keep a few (2-3) females and 1 gander for breeding and to hatch eggs in following years.
Info on the internet seems hard to come by, but for geese the consensus seems to be that male and female meat is fairly similar (different from chickens where there is significant differences)?
Thanks
