I found somewhere where you can buy goslings for £20 each (Beacon Stud in Benenden) but I really want to raise mine from days olds or hatching eggs to that they are handled a lot and more friendly  :fc:

If you do a google search for goslings you'll find a couple of places that sell day olds and will deliver them. Gulliver Geese is one and I think they're all in Norfolk. They do Embdens I think.

I think you will struggle to get pilgrim goose eggs as they are rare breed and not prolific layers. Reputable breeders will want to sell them off-heat/feathered and will also pair up a non-related gander (Jane at  steeplechase is doing this for (lucky) me).
