@Pyxis what are your recommendations for a night time geese enclosure? I know nothing about geese.
Or even recommendations for a minimum sized pond for them. I am thinking 10,000 gallon mimumum and a depth of 4 feet. With 2 foot deep edges for water lillies. Then a shallow marshy return for filtration purposes and amphibians.
The reason I ask is my roosts are currently 50% full adding 5 or so geese (if they roost) would blow my current coop math.Mine sleep in my hoop coop with my chickens. I would say at least five square feet per bird and at least four feet tall.
Mine just have a kiddie poolAny pond at all that you can make for them they will appreciate. They will poop in it, so you'll want to make sure the filter can handle that.

edit-- there is 64 feet of floor space the chicken dont use, -10square feet if the floor space needs to be poop free.
Thank you I was assuming they would be happy in the back half of the coop on the hay without chicken roosting over their heads. You are a wealth of information and thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.Geese don't roostThey sleep on the ground. You could add them to your current coop with the chickens.
