Geese for Sale

Geese are actually the appropriate term for the female of the species. The appropriate term for the male of the species is called Gander, but for the sake of this article, we will continue to call them Geese. Their flocks in water are called a Gaggle and in the sky, a Skein. Geese are known for their loud noises and feces scattering parks. Contrary to what people believe, the bird can actually be very friendly and dedicated to the people it knows well.

Geese Facts


Geese make great additions to farms as poultry. It's been suggested that Geese were probably the first bird kept for poultry some 3,000 years ago in Egypt. If well cared for, Geese can live to be 20 years old in captivity. Geese are one of the only domesticated poultry birds that do bond with humans. The bird will become very loyal to the one who feeds it from the time it was a chick. The bird will consider that humans its “parent” and treat them as such. Because they are loud and territorial they make great “guard dogs”. Another great quality is that they get along with most other animals kept on the farm and are considered social. Whether or not Geese are monogamous is still in question across the species, but they are sentimental and will mourn the loss of one of their mates. They may even adopt another farm animal of another species to replace a loss! Geese are quite well known for their civilized behaviors. They have a lot of notable behaviors during migration when they fly in their “V” pattern. They will honk to encourage the Geese in front of them to keep the pace, and if one falls ill or tired, a few will fall out of line with it until it dies or recuperates.

One redeeming quality that Geese have are their young. They are born capable of swimming and walking just days after birth and they are very cute to onlookers. Unfortunately for keepers, a lot of Geese will encounter problems with fertility. This could be due to the sensitivity of the bird and can be combated by providing a low number of females to each male to encourage fertile eggs. Once the female and male have mated, the female will lay one egg per day until she's reached the full clutch of about 5 eggs. The incubation period lasts approximately 28 days. They are born fluffy and yellowish, just like chicken's chicks and the life expectancy of Geese is around 25 years.

Geese are mainly herbivores and will eat grasses and other greens. Sometimes they are picky eaters and will make their preferences known. Sometimes they are given mealworms as well. At one time in history Geese were hunted so heavily that they were almost gone entirely, but their populations have made a comeback. They are currently categorized as “least concern”. There are many different species of the Goose including the Branta, Embden, Toulouse, the Chinese Goose, and more
