(paghat) expounded:

Then one day my gander was gone, & out the back door of her house down the
hillside were all his plucked feathers & his head & feet. She really had
eaten a child's pet! And after that I shared the adults' dislike of her.

How awful...what a horrible woman.

Several years ago we had a scandiavian neighbor who owned both a pair
of ducks AND geese. Boy what a racket the geese put up (I also ran at
them with the dog when they snuck across the woods into our
property...they really could run fast)..If you think Geese are noisey, You
have never heard a flock of Guineas. In the first part of the century people
kept them for many reasons, among them very low maintenance meat and eggs, but
they were also great watchdogs. They go off, when any thing strange comes near
them.
