A rare and beautiful breed worth preserving. This is a two year old pair, which were hard to find from true Cotton Patch lineage. They are sex linked, similar to Pilgrim Geese. It's so helpful to be able to tell male from female goslings right away.
They mostly feed themselves on grass and plant matter in the spring and summer. They will need supplemental grain in the winter. They need a little kiddie pool (or larger body of water) for breeding and cleaning themselves.
Cash, venmo, Zelle. Serious inquiries only.
Price firm. The pair cannot be separated.
Here's some additional information from the Livestock Conservancy:
Once common on farms in the southeastern United States, the Cotton Patch goose gets its name from the tasks it performed. These geese weeded cotton and corn fields up until the 1950s. Cotton Patches are remembered in the rural south for helping many farmers and their families survive the Great Depression by providing a regular source of meat, eggs, and grease.
The geese lay large white eggs, with about 4-7 eggs per clutch. In the past, a good goose could lay up to 90 large eggs a year. The eggs are tasty, and their meat is flavorful. Ganders weigh 9-12 lbs. and geese 8-10 lbs
