In Chicago , even the swans are killers.
I raise geese, ducks and chickens for fun and for when TSHTF. I presently have 60 birds.
I have two goose moms sitting on their eggs, an African Brown (known as a swan goose), and a Toulouse. The eggs are due to hatch within the next week... this will add another 25 birds to the crew. There goes the feed bill. LOL
My birds know me and are not likely to attack me, but the geese and ducks are VERY protective during breeding season and when they on their eggs. They are more than willing to fight to the death to protect their own.
It seems this poor fellow should have worn a life vest.... for $30 he would still be alive.
so do you figure on eating a lot of goose and duck? how long do they live or do you just keep a breeding set or whatever and eat young ones? Can you tell I don’t know anything about animals/farms? lol
