Raising Geese - What You Should Know

If you want to raise geese, there are a number of
things you need to take into serious
consideration. Raising geese may sound like fun
(and indeed it is), but it actually requires a
lot of time and effort, not to mention a great
deal of money for investing in the primary needs
of geese, such as food, water, shelter, and many
others.

If you're serious in this endeavor, it would do
you well to check out the rest of this article,
which aims to provide interested persons some of
the basic stuff they need to know in raising
geese. Rest assured you'll get only advice from
the experts, simplified for your convenience.

Before you get around to actually raising geese,
there are some questions you need to take into
account. Some of these questions are the
following: Where should you keep the geese? How
big should the breeding and rearing area be? How
long does it take for goose eggs to hatch? What
should you feed baby geese, also known as
goslings? How long does it take for goslings to
mature and start mating?

But the first thing you should really ask
yourself (related to raising goose, that is) is
this: What breed of geese should I raise? You
see, there are a number of interesting and
attractive goose breeds in the world today. Some
of them are more popular than others, and each of
them have different features that may be
advantageous or disadvantageous, depending on
what you're looking for.

For example, if you want to raise geese in order
to enjoy the good, lean meat they provide, you
might want to consider the Toulouse breed for
raising goose. This breed boasts of a heavy
weight in general, as well as a proficiency in
laying eggs. If, on the other hand, you want to
raise geese as a hobby and want to admire your
collection, you might want to go for the Emden
breed, which is widely known for its shiny white
feathers.

Another one of the first things you should think
about is the place where you intend to raise
geese. See, raising goose requires a wide are in
order to carry out breeding and rearing
processes. For a starter flock of twenty geese,
an acre sounds just right. If you can raise
geese somewhere with a grass field as well as a
stream or a pond, all the better for your
geese's food and water needs.
