However, when we drove out later, it was out. I didn't leave any cracked corn outside the pen today; maybe hunger will drive it in. <BR/><BR/>Pablo- Most of my reasoning with these creatures is done with a big stick.<BR/><BR/>Mojoman- Point taken. I wonder if a 5 year old goose would be tender? I guess these qualify more as pets, although if it's a pet do you have to like it? :) <BR/><BR/>FC- The lesson to be learned is, never buy geese on a whim. From what I've seen, they live as long as parrots, only they don't talk.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-40416581040798294162008-03-01T20:31:00.000-06:002008-03-01T20:31:00.000-06:00Good luck.Lame advice, I know, but I don't have a ...Good luck.<BR/>Lame advice, I know, but I don't have a clue about geese.R.Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905593499136090763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-58190264338774325102008-03-01T08:47:00.000-06:002008-03-01T08:47:00.000-06:00Permit me to be the devil's advocate for a moment ...Permit me to be the devil's advocate for a moment here:<BR/><BR/>This might be a dilemma for a keeper-of-pets, but for a homesteader? Good-for-nothing...or good for the pot? This reminds me of the scene in the book "Cold Mountain" where the world-wise newcomer simply wrung the neck of the annoying rooster that was driving the lady of the house crazy.MojoManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11283343683800473324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-68124361819733975672008-03-01T07:26:00.000-06:002008-03-01T07:26:00.000-06:00I suppose you've tried reasoning with it.I suppose you've tried reasoning with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
