Up for auction is 4 (depending on how many laid could be up to 5) Chinese Swan Goose hatching eggs. I have hatched several of these and the eggs were all fertilized. The goslings will most likely be white; however, the grandmother was grey. My gander is my lovable pet. He follows me everywhere and talks to me all of the time. If you want a good pet goose these are the best. The Chinese Swan Goose is the preferred goose for homeowners wanting a goose as an indoor pet. There are two varieties of the Chinese Swan Goose: brown and white. The white variety is by far the most popular. They have an orange beak with a pronounced bump at the base. This bump is more predominant in males than females. Their body is smooth and firm with a graceful neck. They also have strong legs. Their legs and feet are also orange. The best words to describe a pet goose that is well imprinted (as familiar with you as its parent): calm, docile, curious and gentle. It has been said that many imprinted young geese may actually seem to prefer human company to that of their own kind. The Swan Goose (Anser cygnoides) tends to be the most chatty of the breed and are also considered to be great "watch dogs" because they will alarm you if anything should occur that they are not accustomed to or happy with. They can be testy with small children if they are not accustomed to them. It is important that if you raise a gosling for a pet you acclimate it to being around children. Teach your children to handle the animal very carefully and encourage hand feeding. This way they become close with the goose and vice versa. Baby goslings are not difficult to raise. For beginners, a small number should be attempted the first time around. You will need a small box (cardboard should do), a heat lamp, a feeder and a shallow bowl of clean water should do. In the bottom of the box place some straw or even a layer of paper towels for easy clean up. If you’ve never raised fowl before you will quickly become aware that they mess often. Watch your goslings to see if they’re comfortable. If they avoid being under the light that may mean they are too warm and you should either shut it off for a while or move it to a corner. As they grow they will need a larger box to be able to warm and cool themselves with ample room. Keep them enclosed for approximately 6 weeks until they can be outside (providing it is warm weather). If it is cooler weather, move them to an inside pen in your barn or shed where they can escape inclement weather and still have use of their heating lamp. You may need to provide more than one lamp if they are growing larger. These geese are prone to frostbite and burns on the bump on their beak in severe cold weather.
