Hello from Spela, Slovenia :)

[Spela]

Hi all ,

I've lived and worked with animals all my life. I never thought much of poultry (I'm more of a horse & dog person ), but have gotten a goose for my birthday present last year. So I started to Google... found her a mate... more Googling and reading... she lay her first egg this spring... we have five goslings now . Needless to say in a very short period of time I became fascinated with these birds .

We keep them free-range, they have free access to a stream behind our house, they're fabulous grass-mowers and interesting to observe.

I have lots and lots to learn and I am eager to do so. So, hello to all of you and thank you for all and every infromation you can give me .

I'm off to the forum now - having some questions regarding the goslings: http://poultrykeeperforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8108 .

Hi Spela. I know nothing about geese so will be learning from you. Birds are incredible and very fragile. They have no backup systems because they must be lightest to fly. So when one thing goes wrong it's all over for them. Challenge is to keep them fully fit.
