Geese are large, domesticated waterfowl known for their distinctive honking calls, strong family bonds, and migratory instincts. They are commonly raised for their meat, eggs, feathers, and down, and are also prized for ornamental purposes and as watchful guardians of property.
Key Features:
Appearance: Geese have long necks, broad bodies, and webbed feet, adapted for both land and water environments. They typically have soft, dense feathers, and many breeds feature striking plumage patterns, ranging from white and gray to black and brown.
Size: Geese vary in size depending on the breed. Domestic geese are typically larger, with adults weighing between 10-20 lbs, while wild geese can range from 5-15 lbs. Their large size makes them ideal for meat production.
Egg Production: Geese are prolific egg layers, typically producing between 20-50 large eggs per year. Goose eggs are larger than chicken eggs and are prized for their rich flavor. The egg-laying season generally lasts from early spring to late summer.
Temperament: Geese are social, intelligent, and highly protective of their territory. They often form strong family bonds and can be quite vocal, especially when they feel threatened. Many geese are excellent foragers, feeding on grasses, grains, and aquatic plants.
Hardiness: Geese are hardy and adaptable to a wide range of climates, thriving in both warm and cold environments. They are particularly well-suited for areas with access to water, as they love swimming, foraging, and grazing near ponds or lakes.
Common Breeds:
Embden: A heavy meat breed known for its rapid growth and large size.
Toulouse: Famous for producing high-quality meat and foie gras, with a distinctive grayish plumage.
African: A unique breed known for its upright stance and excellent meat production.

Geese are large, social waterfowl raised for their meat, eggs, feathers, and ornamental value. Known for their hardiness and strong family bonds, they make excellent foragers and guardians.
