What kind of geese usually go into the "Weeder Geese" assortment?
The Weeder Geese package can be any of the geese that we sell with maybe some crosses in the group. May or may not receive all of one breed, not guaranteed to be a mix of breeds.

When are these geese generally available? How old are the goslings when shipped?
Goslings are less than a day old when shipped. Generally we have them to ship from March through June.

Can you raise chickens and weeder geese together? Can you start them when babies?
We recommend to keep the geese separate from your chicks. Geese can be very messy and will get the water dirty which is not good for your chicks. Also there is a very big size difference between them and goslings can trample chicks. They should be fed different feed as well — chick starter for chicks and waterfowl feed for goslings.

Which breeds of geese are best for weeders in the garden?
All goslings do well as "weeders". Geese will eat new, young tender plants. They really do not know the difference between plants and weeds. So, make sure that the garden or flower bed is well established before you let the geese in to weed.
