About this product

Product Information

Keeping Geese is a complete guide to the domesticated goose. It shows how this intelligent bird has been absorbed into different cultures throughout history: from the taming of the Greylag and the Swan goose to the exhibition of the mighty Toulouse, the story of the goose is intimately involved in both Eastern and Western cultures. Written from thirty years of first hand experience of keeping, breeding and exhibiting these birds, Keeping Geese gives an insight into their habits and behaviour. Pure breeds, of geese, hand reared, are tame, responsive and intelligent. Reared well, they will give hours of interest and pleasure for life. Covers the following and much more: . Domestication if the goose from the wild, and development of the breeds . Why keep geese as garden pets, eggs, exhibition, table birds . Getting started with geese . Understanding geese breeds, physiology and behaviour . Management of adult stock . Breeding, incubation and rearing goslings . Recognising and treating ailments AUTHOR: Dr Chris Ashton, with her husband Mike, enjoys keeping, rearing and exhibiting pure breeds of waterfowl. Chris and Mike are co-authors of The Domestic Duck and Domestic Geese, both published by Crowood, and they have contributed articles to magazines such as Smallholder and Fancy Fowl for many years. ILLUSTRATIONS: 160 colour photographs

Ultimate find, I was looking for one of these for a long time, and when I found this one I had no hesitation in purchasing it, the seller was extremely helpful and communicated very well. The price with the postage was very reasonable and when I got it home the item looked better in person than it did in the picture

Rare book - particularly in new condition - listed at a reasonable price, which included postage. Packaged fairly securely - and arrived in perfect condition. Happy to have found a copy - and with the order overall.

I wasn't too impressed with no reply to my messages after a delay in posting item but am happy it arrived in time for Christmas. Item is great as described although a bit pricey at 3x what it cost in store. Thankyou
