I am having trouble trying to decide what to do. Performance can't guarantee that the males and females will be unrelated. I am going round and round in my head trying to figure it out. Some one suggested I get the male and try to trade with someone else? How difficult will that be? I want to hand raise them so that they will hopefully be accustomed to being handled. I am thinking maybe two females for now and try to get another male gosling from somewhere else. If I found a male and he was younger than the other two by a few weeks would I be able to put them in the same brooder or would the older two not accept him?( boy I have a lot to learn, I have so many questions We have tons of grass here, two geese are not going to even make a dent in it.I am wondering if I should get four females from performance and two males from elsewhere.

Performance only sells them in pairs, so you will have to order 8 geese to get 4 females.
Finding a unrelated male might be a bigger issue than you think, but might be possible.
I know Boothcreek in BC there has birds from Metzer farms, I have a pair that originates from Holderreads, so if I did get any males I would be selling those, but I have had this pair for 4 years and only got one gosling to hatch last year...
