Diana; Geese. My father had chickens and geese. The geese made a total mess of the lawn and they were always in your face. I was happy when he stopped raising them and I could walk around the place with clean shoes.

I think that hawks would have a hard time taking down a Drake, an eagle or golden eagle probably could.

My other farm was across from a lake that was filled with Canada Goose. They ‘spread the love’ to my place, too. Nasty critters - but good eatin’! ;)
