This is actually pretty cool and will make having geese way more enjoyable. It ticks off all of the things that are important to me like ventilation, easy cleaning, nighttime protection, easy to move/lightweight.
if you move it around on grass, they always just pick a corner. if you drop in some straw/hay and leave it place for a while they'll all share a nest they make.
I'm as far north as you and I use the same structure but put straw bedding in it and deep bed it until spring clean up. I also added some solid wood to the front door for wind break for them. Hardest part is keeping clean water thawed for them. I ran a pump in their pond last winter. They go to bed when told every night and then just close them up.
WOW this is PERFECT!!! Thank you for this. We will be making one! How tall is this? Is it really 8ft by 8ft as it looks smaller? Also in the back at the bottom how did you raise it up? This is seriously the best geese house I have seen and since we will be in the tropics, its perfect!!!
thanks, the sides are full 4x8 sheets and it's square, so yes it's 8x8. the sides are a little over 4ft high, enough you can get in it fairly easy. the backside is elevated simply by mounting the 8 inch wheel low enough the wheel raises the housing.
@@GarmingGFB Awesome thank you!! So it sitting on the wheels the whole time up a little bit? We are going to make this one, LOVE you goat barn too you are so good and creative with "extra scraps" as you call it!
It'll keep out anything unless it has time to dig. So far here nothing has taken the time to dig under for 3 years. Depends on your area. We never keep it super far away from the house or barns. I imagine way away by the woods something might think they have enough time to dig under.
