naw, we bought our three geese from a neighbor in Benque Viejo del Carmen, on the Guatemala border.
two Chinese Gray geese, and one Toulouse goose.
the Toulouse (Gwynneth) mated with the Chinese gander (Gandalf), and she laid 7 eggs in early February.
four of the eggs hatched... three in the incubator (Larry, Curly, & Mo) and one "naturally" under her mom, in a nest.
geese make GREAT guards for our property... they get LOUD when anyone comes in our gate.
and even LOUDER, now that there's babies to guard!
oh, and geese work a LOT cheaper than guard dogs...
lol, a handful of dried corn, and some lettuce, and they're good for the day, 'cause they get most of their food by foraging in da jungle.
