The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 74

Geese

Geese.

For breeding-stock get a Toulouse gander and four Embden geese, and get them as large framed as possible, and two years old or over. Geese live to a great age, and these need not be changed, but kept as breeders as long as they prove satisfactory. They should be shut up at night. A small pond, about 2ft. deep or more, is almost a necessity. Give hot food early in the season, to induce early laying.
