Does anyone have geese?

Geese here!

I love geese. Smart, very economical to feed, lawnmowers and weedeaters, walking fertilizers, watchdogs, absolute sweethearts if you raise them from babies.

Geese are my favorite poultry in terms of practicality and personality. I think if more people were used to them, there would be a LOT more people keeping them.

I agree Geese are my favorite poultry and are really great once you get to know them!

I heard that geese can live up to 20 to 40 years old!

i have a question, if someone can answer it for me. about a month ago my 16 year old daughter bought a young african goose. in fact 2 days after we brought her home she layed her first egg. she is very fiendly, and a few days ago a friend gave us a male becouse we have trouble with coyotys, and large owls and we were afrade to let her run the yard by herself.(we lost the first geese to an owl when they were half grown). well we let them talk threw the fence for about 15 min, and then put him in the pen so they could bond. and she attacked him, he seems afrade of her. do you think they will bond, or should i just go ahead and let them out to run?

growing up we were never allowed to have geese becouse my mother was attacked by one as a kid and was VERY afrade of them.

Do you have any other ganders? It sort of worry's me that you did not raise them together? Maybe they might bind together after a while! Maybe you can do what you did for a while and just let them look at each other for a while and then slowly let them get used to each other.

I have Pilgrim geese until Thursday. They are starting to poo under my carport like dogs.
