Geese and foxes
« on: April 03, 2008, 22:22 »
Would a fox be able to take out a full grown goose? I would say no but i thought id ask on here for some advice.
Im hatching some beautiful dewlap Toulouse geese and when they are grown i want to place them at my other halfs parents as they have plenty of room and a pond. The only thing is foxes have taken some ducks recently and i dont want to put geese there just for them to take.
The goose eggs i bought cost me a lot of money as they are the exhibition dewlap breed so i dont want to give the foxes an easy and expensive meal!
Ive seen a canadian goose chase of a fox and logic tells me that a fox wouldnt be able to take a full grown goose.

What do you all think?

Many thanks for looking and any replies
Jonathan

Sadly a few years ago a fox killed our beautiful goose charlie.  She put up a fight but he still killed her before turning his attention onto a couple of our ducks  :(

I really wouldnt risk it
