We have a goose and a gander and building a nice filtered pond with water feature for them to have water at all time in the yard. My questions are has anyone done it here and if so any suggestions and ways we can make it pretty and not get messed up with the geese.

Edit since people don't understand what is being asked:

I will repeat im not here for goose care "guides" have raised them for years only have the pair for show, conservation of an endangered breed, and breeding. They have names and are family. I have a degree in agriculture, and zoology. Im also a conservationist i keep heritage livestock that is endangered to help educate of them and help keep up the numbers of the breeds.

I want to treat them to above and beyond care to enrich their minds and to give them fun in their lives.

They have a barn where they sleep with feed and hay and toys where sun up to sun down they have access to a kiddy pool with the entire back of the property to guard and graze in.

I simply want to go away with the ugly pool that i change once a day to keep away mosquitoes.

So our goal is making them a pond to themselves (no fish) that has a water feature as they love playing in the sprinklers that is coming out of a colorful fake pot we got for the pond. Got some cool rocks so on.

I only was asking what others did and how theirs turned out for geese 🪿and what cool things we could add as parts to the pond for it to be pretty and entertaining to them that they didn't hurt themselves on or eat as they do eat plants and my gander has decided my cactus is edible so had to be moved out of their space lol.

Just wanted to see what everyone else did for their goose ponds and any cool tips like filters and nice extras that helped them not destroy the look.

Just a nice day out with our geese. We are working on building a pond for them now they are old enough. So while we work Mortisha and Gomez are enjoying the day and their kiddy pool

My girl got hurt 2 weeks ago we got out of the coop what cut her. And cleaned it out when she originally got cut. Of course all fresh water, and clean flooring in the coop.

It is closed but its big and soft (think like a pimple soft) but with a scab on top. But she doesn't care if we touch it or even notice. No signs of pain hasn't reopened it, it isnt seeming ichy for her that we have seen in person or on the coop cam.

We have been clear for all bird related illnesses over our entire flock of birds. We own 6 old English bantams, 12 Japanese quail, 2 geese, and 2 Old English bantam chicks. Thats all of our flock. We are a closed flock and we have been tested since the last time we went to a farm swap.

My question is:

A. Leave it to go away on its own

B. Intervention at home (what should we do if so)

C. Time for the vet.

Just asking for help. Just have not seen this.

Classic deer and leucistic deer?
