Description
African geese are actually close relatives of the Chinese goose and bear some similarities. The African goose is heavier, with ganders reaching about 20 pounds, making it a good addition to meat-production flocks. Females produce up to 50 large, white eggs a year and also reach a large size. The black knob above the beak which develops into adulthood, and the dewlap under the beak, give its head a distinctive shape. These geese are vocal and protect their territory, though they can be raised from chicks as gentle family pets.

Best purchase!
Received my 38 plus 7 freebies and 2 African goslings on April 10, 2020. Every single one came healthy and active. My African goslings are already 2 ft tall and heavy at just close to 7wks and very affectionate. They love to be held like babies and nibble at my shoes. They love to talk!!! So very happy with my purchase. I have recommended Cackle Hatchery to my friends and family. Phenomenal customer service, very sweet people. Thank you Cackle Hatchery for my sweet babies.

African Geese
I just Love Love these geese. They were shipped in Spring and we have had no fatalities. They are so Loving and so much fun to watch. They were raised with the Peking and the Anacona ducks and they are all buddies. The geese and ducks look out for one another. I would definitely order them again. Live them.

Cute little gosslings and so hearty! Who doesn’t love the pitter patter of webbed feet as you walk along. Great personality! I do wish i could order earlier and choose a date earlier in the spring

African geese
Last year I purchased 4 African geese from you. I had 3 adults and was surprised when they hatched 3 chicks a month later. They all blended and are very friendly
They roam freely during the day., swim in the pond, spend nights in the barn. Come up to the house looking for me when it is time to go in at night. They lead me to the barn. I have 10 ducks and they all live together. Love having the geese.

Would like to have known sooner that order could not be completed.
Ordered 3F/1M African Geese; 5F/1M Toulouse Geese and 4F/1M Silver Appleyard Ducks. Only reason for 4 not 5 stars is that they did not have any ducks to ship to me. (Only learned this when order arrived = Too late to order from anyone else) (not charged for them.) All geese are healthy and happy. The Africans are smaller/slighter built than other Africans that I have had even though the ‘others’ were not sold as “giant” either. Seriously- a lot smaller/slighter built. So buyer should know that to get the ‘normal’ large/hefty Africans, they will need to get the “giant African” from this company. Plan ahead-they sell out early!!

Poor Success
We have bought multiple geese twice. All but one has died within 1 to 10 days. We have raised many goslings and dozens of ducks and chicks over many years. So we know how to hatch and raise babies. These goslings seem to be frail and already week when they arrive.

Healthy and Happy African Geese
Geese arrived along with chickens, bourbon red turkeys and khaki campbell ducks in large order. All birds arrived alive and healthy and we did not lose a single one. Our experience with Cackle Hatchery was wonderful and we have been very pleased with the birds. The African Geese were raised in the same brooder with the ducks and they all stick together. They are now almost 7 months old. The geese are very loud but that’s okay because I want them to protect my entire flock of different birds. I ordered them unsexed and do not know yet if we have female or male but suspect they are male. They are very tall, beautiful geese.

Great family addition
The geese arrived safely and quickly. They have made wonderful pets. One even sits on my son’s lap. Easy to care for, hearty breed.

Goose Growing Fast
Always wanted a goose. Added one to my surprise box. We are calling him/her Daisy, til we figure that part out. Very healthy doing well. Extremely pleased with my whole experience with Cackle. Customer service is great.

Oyster shell is a gr
Oyster shell is a great source of calcium to help develop strong eggs. It will not hurt to feed them the oyster shell you could always have it as a free choice separate from the food.

We have just purchas
We have just purchased 10 hens, 24- 26 weeks old. They have a seucre run and a purpose built coop, big enought for 15 20 chickens. How do you make the chickens go into the coop. They kept running around it until we caught them and put them inside. Should we have put them inside immediately, to save the added stress of catching them. If this is the case, when do we let them out again.

Six goslings shipped
Wow! They were shipped Monday and were here in Florida by 10:30 am on Tuesday. That’s fast. All six arrived hungry but healthy. They have all had a meal of chick starter and learned how to drink from the waterer. So now they are snoozing. Thanks for a happy family.

Thank you for the extras, this goes to show just how much you care. Thanks you again
