My chickens keep getting killed by some wild animal.
What is the most vicious breed of goose I can buy that will attack racoons and cats and stuff and defend my flock?

just buy a gun
if you live in a communist shithole, maybe pepper spray or a bat or something
why are you not using a cock?
its why they exist, you can eat them too
Cocks won't stop a coon from ravaging your chickens
Get an Emu
Why a goose tho and not a mammal?
Get a gun or get a better chicken coup.
Geese have a very strong bond with their flock. It's not gonna just fly away randomly.
What's wrong with a rooster
Wtf is a rooster gonna do? My roosters are getting slaughtered out there. I was thinking about a turkey but even they aren't vicious enough, I could imagine a weasel or fox sneaking in to my paddock and that dumb turkey would just sit there and gobble while they take my chickens. I need geese, I've seen geese attack fucking anything. But what's a good goose to have for that?
Ok so what kind of goose should I get? And I limited to ONLY flying ones?
A roosters job is to die fighting. A good rooster will be found come morning entangled with the corpse of the predator that tried to chase his girls.
What you want is a mute swan, but you’ll either have to clip his flight feathers every moult or keep him obese (this is also how you keep Canadian geese down home in the farm).
A turkey would attack and be enough food for the predator to fuck off.
OP, if you imprint on the goose it won't fly away.
GEESE PLEASE?
just get a guard dog like a normal person. there's no guarantee that a goose won't just get its head bitten off either
ironically enough it's the leaf goose
from a nation of sks toting timmy hortons snorting maple sucking near pacifists we have the meanest goose in the world and some of the deadliest soldiers ever born
it's a paradox.
You cant buy wild, endangered geese. If that was the case I'd get a trumpeter swan, but they cost thousands and you need a permit.
Plus, all those things fly. Would like something along the lines of a domestic farm goose that doesn't fly?
my mistake you appear to be posting from outside north or central america
your concerns are being actively ignored as we speak.
I'm in Florida, fucky. Why would I want livestock that could fucking fly away?
>Why would I want livestock that could fucking fly away?
nobody wants the leaf goose, and it does not fly away
Alright well I just double checked, they're 40 bucks apparently but I'm not sure if that listing I just read was even real + they fly. I have Pekin ducks, runner dicks and other non-flyers + chickens. They live in a paddock surrounding a pond in my yard. I can't have Canadian geese they'll just take off.
>I can't have Canadian geese they'll just take off.
are you lying about being from florida?
I got a condo there and it's fucking overrun with leaf geese and alligators.
No I see all kinds of weird birds but no Canadian geese.
Breeds of dog that won't just eat all my fucking birds? Oh right there's none. I need a breed of goose or perhaps maybe a swan.
>No I see all kinds of weird birds but no Canadian geese.
then you're not in florida
have you considered the possibility you actually live in brazil?
Ok cool KYS.
Can we post some good goose breeds please?
I heard tufted roman geese are good "guard" geese, but I'm not sure if that's strictly because they honk and cause a ruckus at the sound of danger opposed to being vicious like a Canadian goose.
>Can we post some good goose breeds please?
just you and me here bubba, and as long as you lie about where you live I got nothing for you
I'm not posting the city where I live, 99% chance since you're from Canada you're some pedo corporate boot licking shill bot or some shit sig heiling to the corporate takeover and enslavement of your nation.
South Florida. Suck me.
>South Florida. Suck me
tiny cocks in south florida.
that's what my alabama boys say
Go call the cops on your conservative grandma and have her thrown into a concentration camp or whatever you freaks do. Get fucked by geese, Idk.
>Breeds of dog that won't just eat all my fucking birds? Oh right there's none.
Pretty much any breed of sheepdog... you do know that there are dogs specially bred to work with animals, right? Not everything is a heckin evil pibbywibby.
Any breed of herding dog can protect them, even a few gaurd dogs you can train not to mess with your birds.b
I've seen geese fight off cows, bears, you name it. I don't care about your reasoning, forget everything I've said ITT and just humor me.
I just want to know some aggressive breeds of geese. Asking for a friend.
They aren't endangered. I see them all over the place.
Fuck the government. If a glowie asks, just say you don't own the goose, and it's illegal for you to remove it.
A goose is not going to win in a fight against anything that is killing roosters. They don't weight that much more and don't have anything to actually harm whatever is killing your chickens. A good rooster is just as aggressive as a goose too. A goose will just make a bunch of noise dying.
Your best bet is to actually develop your property to support more than just chickens. A pair of goats, an LDG, some ducks and a geese hatched together and proper fencing.
LGDs also proactively prevent predator attacks because of how loud their bark is. If your a fox and hear this thing barking @100-120db every day, maybe you'll go somewhere else.
I had ~25 birds over 3 years. I have 18 now. I've lost 3 to predators. One from a fledgling hawk at twilight, one to a coon that got run off and never came back and the last to a neighbors puppy. I ate the rest. If you own yard birds you will get used to yearly attrition and by now should be hatching fertilized eggs out to make up for casualties.
LIFE PROTIP: The geese and swans at the park are free
Swans will murder all the other birds first, and in most North American countries you can just get a game bird permit to raise wild geese or partridge
But for domestic geese, my Africans do well
It's not a paradox. They have simply been humbled by the mighty goose.
>near pacifists
Canucks are the one of the most vicious people I have ever met.
They can just act so two faced about it because they dehumanize the other party beforehand, can't do wrong when you have the moral high ground.
