- Love to graze on green pasture
- Enjoy fresh drinking water in deep containers, ponds and dams to play & groom in.
- Social & intelligent birds that form life partnerships. They get along well with other poultry & livestock.
- Hardy & more resistant to disease than other poultry, especially when raised in small flocks.
- Make friendly farm pets, alert watchdogs, and effective lawn mowers.
- When nesting the female goose lines a depression in the ground with straw, vegetation & down before laying up to 40 large, white eggs per season. She patiently incubate her clutch for 28-30 days while her gander stands guard.
- When goslings hatch both parents take on the roles of caregivers and are very protective.

The Useful Goose

Geese can earn their keep by supplying the following farm products and services:
- Eggs: Up to 250 grams. Good for scrambling and baking. Try marketing extras to egg sculptors and artists.
- Meat: Darker, richer, more tender than turkey. A 3.5 ounce serving of roasted goose with skin has 305 calories, 25 grams of protein and 22 grams of fat.
- Down/Feathers: Valuable for comfy pillows and light, insulating comforters.
- Grass trimming/weeding: Once used to weed a variety of crops, geese are again becoming popular weeders as organic methods catch on (they fertilize, too).

This is a rare opportunity to own & raise your own geese.
