BREEDS TO CHOOSE

You will see a difference in performance depending on the breed of geese and ducks you keep. All have their benefits, but for the best results, use the most active of each type of bird. With geese, these are the White Chinese.

White Chinese are energetic birds, always foraging, and they have particularly long and slender necks for reaching weeds in tough places. They’re also some of the most lightweight geese, so they do the least damage to any crops or seedlings that they’re weeding around.

Similarly, Runner Ducks are some of the best ducks to keep for best control. They are more energetic than other breeds, with a bottomless appetite for pests. Like White Chinese geese, Runner Ducks are particularly lightweight and won’t crush any seedlings.
