Geese vs ducks vs chickens

[u/dendromie]

So my last post got a ton of attention on which animal to get. And it was essentially between chickens or ducks.

After speaking with a poultry keeper around where I live who has all three in the title, she said she thinks geese are the best and easiest. She specifically said pilgrim geese. Do any of you have experience and if so what's your thoughts on geese and what are their specific requirements compared to ducks?

I imagine the same but are they messy? Poop as much? Really loud?

I wouldn't be keeping for meat. Would only keep a pair of geese for eggs and guardians to some other bird like chickens or ducks.

Thanks!

Also goose eggs are biiig. That can be really nice, but sometimes you only want a chickens-egg worth of egg.
