Livestock Gardens
Keeping any form of livestock requires careful consideration. You must ensure that your garden or plot of land will adequately meet the needs of the animals you are planning to keep.
There are many choices, some of the more usual are chickens, hens, goats, and rabbits. The following brief guides are design to help get an understanding of the basic upkeep and care requirements for your livestock gardening plans.
You should also seek professional advice from suppliers in your local area, they will be able to help you with any specific questions that you may have.
Keeping Geese - Housing
It is best to try and create solid secure and dry housing for your geese. Preferably with a predator-proofed pen attached. This should mean that your geese can be left in safely enclosed in the pen if you are away till dark.
A stable, shed or small building will provide suitable housing. If you plan to build from scratch, the house does not need to be more than 6ft high and 4ft at the back. An area of 8ft x 6ft will comfortably house 4-6 geese.
A wide door should be provided and most of the front should be wire mesh. The house should be situated to face away from the prevailing winter wind. A higher roof makes cleaning easier, as does a concrete or wooden floor.
Sections partitioned off will encourage your geese to make their nests in a secure place. Straw makes the best bedding and needs to be changed regularly.
