Hi Alaskan, would you please tell me why you keep geese? I guess they will chase foxes away : ) : ) : ) They are so healthy looking and "happy" goosies!
Because in the summer, they cost almost zero to feed. They eat almost 100% lawn grass, so keep the lawn perfectly trimmed. They are good at edging.

Also, they are so large that once full sized, I haven't had any deaths even when I free range them.

Last time I had them, I slaughtered them all once fall came.

This year I wanted to keep a breeding set.... so I am over-wintering them. The food cost, now that all grass is gone, is HORRIFIC!

Also, they are pretty cold hardy, which is nice.
