I went out and spent a few minutes trying to convince the chickens that they should go inside until this string of storms passes. The big rooster was telling them to ignore me. I finally cornered him and carried him around upside down for a couple of minutes and everyone else went inside.
The ducks and turkeys were far more cooperative.
The worst part of this is found to be trying to convince my 9 Kg (20 lb) plus cat to come out from under the stairs.
Big geese are heavy and strong. You have to be prepared and you have to know what you’re doing. Canada Geese are relatively small compared to large domestic geese. I would take on a large farm goose and give myself an 80% chance of coming out on top and 95% chance of surviving the encounter.
Hens can really be aggressive but you have to remember that most of them weigh a couple of pounds. They will run off roosters and hawks and eat anything they can get ahold off.
