might sound like a dumb question but can geese eat garlic? just wondering as the chooks get some with other foods and was wondering if geese can or will they get sick? thanks. ;D

Hi chickita! As no-one else has a reply for you yet I'm going to hazzard a guess and say that garlic should be just fine for geese Please bear in mind though that I don't keep geese, nor do I know much about them, just can't see any reason why it would be harmful to them ;D I would think that it'd probably be good for them! Anyway, maybe someone else that does have geese can enlighten us both Besides, if it is no good for them to eat, you know it is good on them when you eat them! ;D (just joking!)

:DI cant imagine that there would be a problem for geese being a natural antibiotic.We have prescribed it to be given it to people ,dogs ,goats ,kangaroos ,cows ,horses ,hens ,other birds when the have a problem . We also put it on wounds with natural honey to stop infection.Work well.

Awww - they are cuties! You must have as many flies at your place as I do at mine since you managed to get a pic of one on your gorgeous goosies face I'm sure they will love living in your orchard and doing their goosie thing! The little guy is just the cutest! Will have to start working on OH to get some 'guard geese'!
