Duckling or Gosling?

Question

I have 2 chcikens. Theres Jewel and Moon. Jewel is my baby, she is 1.5 years old. She was attacked be a raccoon when she was a baby and amazingly made it. She only has a stub as a foot. Moon is one of jewels eggs I incuabted befor getting rid of my rooster who was overmating her and attcking her. It hatched and she or he is pretty. I was going to get rid of the 3 month old chcik because it runs off a lot. I cant ketch it for nutten. Jewel comes running to me when I have food while the other freaks out.

I was wanting to sell the chick and get a duckling or even a gosling. They always follow you which I like. I was going to sell the 3 month old chick for only $6 and than buy a gosling or duckling.

I never had a gfoose befor though. I dont know if myy dad would liuke that, but

1.) What would you get, a Duckling or gosling? WHY?

2.) Which out of the duck or goose are more loyal and want to be wiht you rather than ther own kind?

3.) If I get one or the other, Which breed, a duck or goose will try to breed wiht my hen? My male duck hurt her, will geese do the same?

4.) Should I get a male or female goose or duck?

Thank you,

Answer 1

1.)I would buy a duckling because depending on what kind of duck you get,usually geese get bigger making them a lil harder to handle.

2.)And ducks are more likely to follow you around if you're the one handling it.

3.)Whether or not a goose will hurt your hen all depends on what kind of goose it is.(Personality)Some might be more violent than others.

4.)I couldnt say which to choose. But think about it...do you want more breeding among your hens or more hens?Hope that helps!!!

Answer 2

first of all you should NEVER get just one duckling/duck or gosling/goose that is just plain cruel!!

but to answer your questions

(1)Idk what i would get . .  I already have 12 ducks and 7 geese  and they are so lovely:D

(2)Neither want to be with you more. .  

They don't want your company all the time they want the company of a fellow duck/goose that being said geese are more loyal. .  

I actually have one goose Freddie who i raised since she was a few days old and loves to come in and say hello and sit on my lap. BUT she lives with her 6 other friend i would Never keep her inside away from her friends

so in your situation you should get 2 or 3 goslings and hand feed them now and again while they are young . . . and they will be loyal to you when they are older . . and quite tame

(3) A goose won't try mating with a hen (geese are far too big for that)

although some ducks will try . (One of my khaki Campbell males tried it a few times on one of my polish bantams)

(4) like i said you can't get one on its own get at least two ideally a pair

But always get AT LEAST TWO i cannot stress this enough.
