Goose Care and Keeping

Yes, we’re the Chicken Ladies, but we love ALL of the poultry. And Holly has decided to add geese to her farm, so here we are, learning about goose care and keeping.  We want to know everything we can about geese and how to keep them happy and healthy.

If you’re new to geese, check out Holly’s Goose FAQs page. These are the questions she needed answered as she set out to learn everything she could about these large swimming dinosaurs. There are some fascinating differences between geese and chickens!

You can listen to our Breed Spotlight on Toulouse Geese on episode 160 of our podcast.
