Raising Geese for Profit in Old and New Ways
Geese prove hardier than cows or hens and require less shelter, especially on marshy land, but are least profitable without understanding their nature. Rhode Island Station tests highlight Embden White China and Embden African varieties, with old geese laying more eggs and goslings.

Allowing birds to forage for bugs and greens boosts egg output.
