Cute/funny gosling update 💖
Didn’t think I’d be letting my girls go broody again, but when Hetty settled on her nest we figured it was too late to persuade her off 😅 we’ve ended up with 3 lovely looking and, so far, healthy goslings! Now the first issue is that Hetty is our most defensive goose, we got her from a farm... -
Will/should Chinese Geese eat stilt grass?
I’m preparing for three geese to arrive soon. While I’ve had chickens for a long time, this will be my first geese. The intent is to allow them to free range within a very large low fenced area and then be housed at night in a smaller fenced in area with a secure coop. There is a fair amount...- FurryHerbalist

Retired Metrology Engineer
Retired from Metrology Engineering last year (FINALLY:bow) I grew up in a (very) rural village in Germany - Some might compare it to the Amish here in the USA - but for me it was just how we were raised - very minimal, almost survivalist style. I travelled starting at age 17 around Europe. Ended...- Ufopilot

What breed do you believe these to be and why?
I bought some geese last year at 6 months old and they were labeled “Buff Saddleback” I would like to use these as “Show”Geese, but not quite sure if they are show quality or if they are buff saddleback or buff saddleback pom. So I’d just like someone’s input on these birds please and thank you. -

Ideas on memorializing my gaggle
I posted recently about losing my gaggle traumatically and suddenly starting on Wed and my final gander passed away yesterday or early today. I don't know what caused it yet but the vet tech that came on Friday for testing said she didn't think it was bird flu, I'm currently guessing it's NCD or...- starrymutt

Baby Chinese goose not walking unless I help her move by gently picking her up and pushing her butt. She takes a few steps then falls
We bought her from the store where we buy all of our chickens, ducks, turkeys. This time we thought they where just strange ducks… they where Chinese baby geese. We assume one is male and one is female. One is very tall and loud the other is small and quiet… she is strange looking but she’s very... -
Looking to Rehome a Gander
We are looking to rehome our Pomeranian gander due to conflict with another gander in our flock. He is more skittish around people and generally his aggression towards us is just a bluff. He gets along with a pair of Toulouse that we would be willing to part with if necessary. We are located in...- Teaspoon100

Is this egg fertilized..?
This morning, I was getting ready to make a goose egg (and chicken egg change) omelet when I saw what I think is a bullseye. I’d like y’all’s opinions on if it is or not. I do hope it’s not, because both of my geese are supposed to be female. I can crack another egg and take better photos if...- KathiQuacks

Limping Buff goose, no apparent cause.
Hey, y’all. I noticed yesterday my ~7 month old Buff goose had a slight limp. As of today, her limp is more noticeable, but she’s still getting around alright. She has no bumblefoot, and her legs feel about the same to me. She eats as much Mazuri waterfowl feed as she’d like, though her grass...- KathiQuacks

Hay for bedding and warmth
Hi everyone, just a quick question (and to hopefully ease my nerves). I have 5 geese in a small coop with pallet flooring. I covered the sides with tarp and put some old saddle blankets up to keep drafts out. I have pine shavings for bedding and on top of that about 3 bales worth of grass hay...- starrymutt

Goose questions
So, I'm considering getting some geese this year (not sure if it will work out, but I figured that there's no harm in getting some information!) and I have a few questions. 1) what breeds do you recommend? I would be keeping them as a pet, so I don't really need good eggs or meat production 2)...- User690263

Squeaky goose and possible wet feather?
Two of my geese (one female and I'm not sure of the other, possible gander) have developed a squeak, almost like a hiccup when he honks and my female has had nearly constant wet feather. She'll bathe in the pool but won't preen well and her chest stays wet for hours, I checked a moment ago and...- starrymutt

Are these geese actually female?
I’m just an anxious, first-time goose mama trying to quell her fears 😅 According to Metzer Farms, these two are both female. They were ordered as female, labeled as female, and banded as female, but I’m starting to get worried sick that one (or both..) are ganders. It’s still quite early...- KathiQuacks
