The honking of the goose can be heard from far away. The goose in this picture is a male, White Chinese goose which is a descendant of the swan goose. They are prolific egg layers and have a great personality. They are great at weeding and they are perfect for alarming when they feel threatened. We used a male goose because males are better at protecting their friends, in this case our female chickens. It doesn’t matter what anyone says or does to him, when he feels threatened by vicious intruders, he just won’t stop HONKING! We need more protectors like this!
