Geese Breeders Guide - Critical Tips On Breeding Geese Properly

And so you want to become a geese breeder? Geese
make excellent addition to your poultry or farm.
They get rid of weeds as well as insects. You
could also sell them as pets specially the
goslings, or for meat and their eggs. And so
here is a basic guide for geese breeders.

You do not have to be afraid of geese as most
beginners are. For the experienced geese
breeders, they know that geese can be rather
pleasant, especially those that have been raised
since the gosling stage. The first thing you
should do is set up the place for geese. You
will not have geese right away but goslings.
They will need warmth most of the time so build
them a house filled with sawdust. Make sure that
the windows are also sealed by fine wire. Next,
for geese breeders to ensure the safety of geese
from wild animals if there are any, build a fence
high enough to keep them out, at least five feet
in height. Also, make sure that water as well as
shade is available for geese in its surroundings.
This means you should have trees and many other
plants to have a cool atmosphere. Next, decide
which breed to raise. There is a breed suitable
for having eggs, there is also another breed
good for meat. You could also have both if you
want.

The next step for geese breeders is to now learn
on the process of breeding and raising geese.
First, choose female geese that are large. Use
one gander for three females and allow them to
start mating one month before breeding season.
You will also need to have nest boxes ahead of
time. Having them makes the gathering of eggs
easier. Make sure they have enough sawdust to
keep the eggs from breaking. If you want the
eggs to be incubated naturally, then leave them
with the female geese. Just be sure to provide
much water and food.

Female geese make good mothers and so you will
not have to worry about incubators or broody
hens to hatch the eggs. The eggs will appear in
around a month. But if you gather them daily,
your geese will have to lay more eggs.It will be
very important to keep the routine that is
working for any type of goose to be kept
properly. This is because geese live on routine
and will not breed as well when their routines
are broken.
