Hey all,
Has anyone here raised geese? I'm thinking about starting a flock of geese this spring. I already raise chickens for meat and eggs. I have
the goats going and hope to get milk and meat from them.
I'd like to have Pilgrim geese because you can sex them easily. If
not Pilgrim, White Embden would be the breed.
My goal would be to start with about 10 and raise them saving the
best females and a couple of males to procreate in the future. I
really would only eat a few geese a year, but maybe more if I had
them.
I also figure that keeping a few geese should not be too big of a
deal as they can graze in season and seem like they'd be pretty independant.
If I have to buy from a hatchery, this is about a $100 investment (purchase and shipping for 10 goslings). Has anyone raised geese and kept a flock going? Any goose horror stories ???
