Howdy,

Is there anyone with any experience or advice regarding using geese as guard animals for other livestock?

Will adult geese, that have not been raised/imprinted among chickens take to guarding a new flock?

Any advise concerning geese harassing human visitors(or pet cats?) Is this unlikely?
