Actually, they graze very nicely and make a nice lawn.
They eat the dandelions first... and a few other weeds... then wonderfully trim the grass.
I keep wondering if they remind me of cattle or horses..... because they eat a bit, sit and digest a bit, then repeat. I guess more horses
...
Oh... as to containment.. a proper fence works. Have a goose herder is best... because then the herder can make sure the geese graze fir most if their feed.
The last time I had geese, I would have the kids herd... they herd easily because they insist on staying clumped together. Way more...
Tasty. Kinda like duck? Way more dark meat, and way more juicy than chicken or turkey.
I would not say it was anything like beef. Muscovy breast is a little like beef... but not goose.
The silly things fly LESS, WAY less, than chickens. I am not sure if they can get any height at all...
I have tried and busted 2 of those blue heated dog bowls.... do your geese not try to bathe in them?
And... they actually work for you all winter?
How cold does it get where you are?
Anyone have a favorite goose waterer?
I haven't had them over winter before.....
For my muscovy I just used a pot... but I have more geese... and the geese are bigger.
I can't tell with that picture.
But this article has some great photos. Nice clear ones.

I am very excited about the wedding... supposed to be a tiny wedding... and I have issues with my sisters, so they were not invited. It was to be a wedding of 15 people.... except of course my mother, she invited and paid for the travel for one of my sisters and her kid.... so, 2 wedding...
I decided to ignore.
:idunno
I made it clear that since the kids and I take care of them... spouse's opinion does not matter.
Spouse's reason against was stupid... because the geese I had, SIX years back pooped on the front bridge/house entrance.
I would think, as long as I kept the...
Why did I wait so long to get geese again??? (Oh right, spouse was hugely apposed)
Well, I am thrilled. Sweetest things! Also loving the ducks, they are all growing up so nicely.
