* Medium Goose Breeds:- Grey Backed |
| Grey Back Geese are pied
patterned originally from the North of Europe. They are
dual lobed geese, orange in the bill, and the same shape as the English
Embden and commercial Embden geese. Grey Back Geese are easy to confuse
with Pomeranian Geese although different in temperament and shape For housing use a large dog kennel or small garden shed to house the geese. During the winter they need to be protected against rain, wind, and snow . The shelter must be waterproof, predator proof and well ventilated ( goose crap is high in ammonia so small places produce quite a smell). At night these geese must be penned up being vulnerable to two and four legged predators. For bedding use straw, paper shreds,wood chip, wood shavings or hay, although I do prefer hay for the nests. Recommend mucking out the geese enclosure every 1-3 weeks, depending on how many geese you have in the enclosure, and how big the enclosure is. Queries ask via the domestic - waterfowl club website |
