Man, I have enough of an issue with chicken "Embryo's as it is. I still eat eggs, but goose eggs? That big. Just seems like something's wrong with that picture.

That was great. When the dog in my avatar was still with us he LOVED to harass Canada Geese. School I used to walk him would often have the ball field covered. If no one was around I would let him off leash and the little fur missile was off. He would make a few passes at them till the entire flock would move to other greenery. Since the birds were much larger than him I was always kind of surprised they never tried to hold their ground and return the attack. Some cities were hiring people with trained dogs to chase them off from parks for a while. They are a PITA up here as many of them stop migrating they have it so good here.It's the gigagoose!

LOL, when I was a kid my Dad had a couple females and one male. We used to eat the eggs. They were great. The male used to scare me when I went to get the eggs until one day he actually got me in the leg. He was so proud of himself strutting around I had to laugh. Later Dad moved to a place on the water and started letting them out during the day. In time they started to interact with other wild geese and soon they just joined the wild ones and we stopped seeing them. Probably was some very odd looking geese for many years as they interbred.Man, I have enough of an issue with chicken "Embryo's as it is. I still eat eggs, but goose eggs? That big.

Down here, Blue Lake Park out near Troutdale and the Columbia River have thousands of those filthy birds in winter/ spring. I'm guess they must haze them when the public starts renting the shelters and having company/family pick-nicks, swimming/paddling in the lake. The grassy areas are literally plastered with their dukey.They are a PITA up here as many of them stop migrating they have it so good here.
Their droppings can be some pretty nasty stuff. I presume home poultry farmers have a system for handling the hazard and smell.That was great.

Been so damn long I am not sure anymore what breed he had. I seem to remember they were dark gray and white but, it has been a hell of long time. When they were allowed out on the water in the sound here there was a few different kinds of geese around that they were soon interacting with till they finally just stopped coming back to their pen at night. They seemed HUGE to me at the time but I was 6 and 7, so seemed like they could almost look me in the eye.a Canadian goose is less than half the size of my big male watch goose

if you think goose poo is stinky, we use truck loads of chicken manure for organic fertilizerit's called organic fertilizer
that's why we have such rich grass for the geese to forage on
with our small flock, it's not an issue
Good to know. I used to pass by a few poultry farms occasionally when I was younger, and the smell of chicken poop would waft for miles. Not as bad as pig poop but very bad. Cow poop seemed to be the most benign.it's called organic fertilizer

grab a shovel and come out to help me unload a truck load sometime
Ours when we were eating the eggs had a HUGE pasture to graze in. So they had so much land it was no mess. Had a cow and a goat that all shared the place. Geese had a large house that they would return to at night to sleep in and were the females laid. Later their pen was at the water and they were allowed out all day until they just stopped coming back. I know those damn Canada ones will make a HUGE stinking mess in parks and such because there is just so damn many of them. Not sure what they hell those who farm them do. Guess like raising things like hogs they must have some way to deal with it.Their droppings can be some pretty nasty stuff.

I don't even unload chicken manure by shovel any longerGood to know. I used to pass by a few poultry farms occasionally when I was younger, and the smell of chicken poop would waft for miles. Not as bad as pig poop but very bad. Cow poop seemed to be the most benign.
Thank you no.
Zip ties?I don't even unload chicken manure by shovel any longer
bought one of these at Harbor Freight
unloads 1500 lbs of chicken manure in just two min!
years ago we had Kentucky Red Turkeys, who can flyThe goose poop is no problem if its a few geese on a few acres. When they all come back and hang around on your porch pooping and pecking on the door--which sounds just like a knock--so you will come out and visit with them, that's another thing.
yupZip ties?
