Pullstart 62,881 #52 Posted May 23, 2023 A little 28” high siding to prevent heads getting nabbed by critters if they scale the fence, and if they stick ‘em through the chain link… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,881 #53 Posted May 23, 2023 And fully boxed in. I made sure to drive the steel down into the ground a ways to prevent burrowing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,881 #55 Posted May 24, 2023 I’m glad to have set the live trap outside the new porch last night. This was inside the 6’ fence, and vicious! Unfortunately he got a splitting headache mid-morning. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Up to 2 may be kept through the winter, if we have a male and female to mate and incubate eggs. Otherwise, it’ll be a seasonal thing for the geese. The rest will end up in the smoker 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the expansion to the fence run, I had a hard time deciding where to place the trap. Inside the fence, outside the fence, front or back, etc. they could come from any angle. In this instance, a I believe I’ll begin placing the trap every night, right in the same spot. The meat birds in the plastic greenhouse are protected by an electric fence on the soft sides. It has proven to be worth having as well! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,881 #64 Posted August 7, 2023 12 days we have, until we process our birds. I haven’t sexed these geese yet, to see if any will survive the cut. Or pluck, that is. This is a 23-1/2” plucker that *should* fit the geese as well as chickens! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
