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

When do geese give up?
For context I asked for two girl goslings so I didn’t have an issue with breeding but it is what it is and I love my goose and gander as they are. My geese have grown up and are getting it on. They’ve built a nest and are laying eggs in it, so I’ve been swapping their eggs out with infertile... -
Geese Bedding Options
I have to White Chinese Geese and we currently use straw as bedding that we change out daily. My geese don't like wood shavings and have had cuts from the wood which is why we switched to straw.

Field peas - safe?
My ducks and geese live peas and I thought I’d save money buying dried peas from the feed store. Only, they are not peas. They are field peas, which are apparent a kind of bean.

Is my French Toulouse developing a dewlap?
We have three French Toulouse geese about 3 1/2 months old, two look pretty similar but one has always been smaller and seems to be growing more slowly.

Is it safe to leave 3 week old goslings with 4 month old geese?
I moved my two 3 week old goslings to the outside brooder and introduced them to their older siblings. They took to them surprisingly well, not extremely broody, but attentive enough that when the babies chirp they run to them. One gosling keeps going after my gander though but he just "yells"...- starrymutt
