Nice photos of some uncommon birds wildfeather.

Nice flock Mr. Thibault.  You are one of the seasoned pro's with this species.  Keep up the good work.

Sounds like typical comfort movements to me.  These are often observed in calm, comfortable birds, especially after bathing.   Are these Yellow-bills wing clipped or free flying? DT

 Kudos Mr. Hall.

Hi Mark HSV-AL! I hope you mean Earl Justus of Texas!  He's super cool .

DNA sexing: Zoogen (http://zoogendna.com/Sex_Made_Easy__TM_.html) or Avian Biotech (http://www.avianbiotech.com/sexingcenter.htm).  I've used both and have been impressed with their accuracy. DT

Waterdog: What type of incubator are you using for your waterfowl eggs?  Any tips or tricks you could share with the group? DT

Having a pro teach you how to vent sex or DNA testing (about $20.ea) will be your best bets.  Visually sexing geese can be iffy.   Either way your geese look very slick, clean, and healthy.  Congrats.   DT

Thanks Waterdog.  Do you still have success breeding the blonde American Wigeon?

Thanks Waterdog, nice photo.  You're one of the folks that I was speaking of who reliably breeds Red-breasted.    Here's a shot of some of mine with young.
