Geese have a long and distinguished history. Domesticated in Ancient Rome, China, and Bible Lands, geese are even pictured on the Pyramids. In Central Europe a newly married couple could expect young geese as a highly prized wedding present. Geese can be expected to breed past 30 years of age and a 40 year old is not uncommon. 101 years of age is the record. Geese are raised primarily for meat today but we have many customers who also use the eggs for baking and the shells for decorative arts. Goose down goes into everything from an old-fashioned feather bed to a modern lightweight jacket. Geese are easy and inexpensive to raise, quick to grow, and a delight to behold. Your goslings ordered from McMurray Hatchery, as they mature, will return their cost many times over in pleasure and profit.

SMALL ORDERS: We are able to send you as few as 2 ducks or geese.  They will be specially boxed with a heat pack to assure they arrive in great shape.  For orders of less than10 ducks or geese, there will be a small order charge of $40 to cover the shipping,  special handling, heat pack and boxing fees.   You may order all one breed or combine different breeds to complete your order.

SEXING OF GEESE: If you order sexed geese; the males will have legbands on their right leg and females will have legbands on their left leg.  *WARNING* If your geese arrive with leg bands, the bands must be removed within 7 days! Leaving the bands on can harm your fowl!

Goslings are available from March to mid July.
