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... -
🌙 Possum Drama at 4AM – Meet Ray Ray
So here’s how my early morning started... Around 4AM, my rooster loses his mind, crowing like the world’s ending. Then I hear my 6-week-old goose honking like it’s being chased by a ghost, Ducks quacking, chickens flapping — the whole farm is losing its feathery mind. So of course, I fly out...- Windwalker79

🍉 Watermelon Wars
There’s peace on the homestead... until someone cracks open a watermelon. I learned early on that my ducks, chickens, and goose all have one thing in common: a totally unhinged obsession with watermelon. It doesn’t matter if it’s 100 degrees or a cool spring morning — as soon as they see that...- Windwalker79

Having geese with chickens
I've got eleven hens and two roosters but am currently waiting for more hens, I know it's not a good ratio. I was looking on the Meyer hatchery site and saw a bunch of breeds of geese. I'd never get a single goose (even if I wanted to, Meyer has a minimum of 2), but I have some questions. If a...- donteatbees

Goose vomiting, not eating, but wants to.
My 3 year old Embden goose has been very picky about her food for the past 2 weeks or so. She'll eat the food, but not as happily as she usually does. I give her a combination of grass, dandelion greens, crushed corn, whole corn, and she has constant access to fresh water. About 2 hours ago, I...- CrazyGooseLady2000

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

Goose possibly had too large a cabbage leaf? Showing discomfort

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... -
