Lawn mowers with opinions — loyal, loud and long-lived.
Quick answer: Pilgrim is a variety of geese. Everything on this page is geese-level guidance — we do not invent variety-specific numbers.
The care below is geese-level guidance from our species hub, sourced to Merck Veterinary Manual — Poultry and RSPCA — Goose advice. It applies to Pilgrim exactly as it applies to every other geese variety. We do not publish variety-specific temperament, lifespan or weight numbers that we cannot source.
Space, water and fencing
Plan on roughly 100 m² (about 1,000 sq ft) of grass per goose if you want the lawn to survive; less space means more purchased feed and faster mud. Water deep enough to dunk the head — a trough or small pond — keeps eyes and nostrils clean; they do not need a full pond to thrive. Fencing is about safety and neighbors: a 1 m fence usually holds a goose, but predator-proof night housing matters as much as for ducks, and breeding-season ganders need routes for people to walk away from the nest.
Lifespan and health
15–25 years is normal, with some reaching 30 — treat a goose as a two-decade tenant. Common issues are angel wing in fast-growing goslings (from excess protein/energy — keep gosling feed moderate), bumblefoot on hard dry ground, and egg binding in heavy layers. Geese are famously hardy and disease-resistant compared with poultry, but wild-bird flu rules apply to them too: covered feed, limited wild-waterfowl contact, and quarantine for new birds.
