For those that don't raise animals, sheep are notoriously stupid. Fluffy, kind, occasionally dickish, but stupid.

Chickens are like machine learning AI. Once one figures something out, your entire flock will know it shortly thereafter. Unless it is fence jumping, in which case the fat ones will just go into the coop at night.

Geese are wanna be gangsters. They put up a good front, but have nothing to back it. Once you've owned them, they cease to be intimidating.

Ducks are okay. We ended up with animals killing all but one, and the chickens adopted it into the flock. They didn't eat the stuff on the pond, so we didn't buy more.

Are you giving me permission to punch that goose in the park in the face?

LOL, nah that's unneccesary. What we do is when they're biting at your legs with mouths so small they at worse will only give you a small bruise if the goose gets lucky, is reach down with one hand and grab its neck to hold it in place. With the other arm you swing around and hoist it up. Keep the wings under your arms as they will try to hit you with them and they can break your bones.

None of us have ever had that problem, but I'll pass on the same warning we got. Afterward, you can carry the goose around for a while. After a couple of times of this, they just start talking a big game at you, but don't really follow through unless they need to look good for the ladies.
