Me too! She grew them beautifully though! Each one perfectly healthy!

She tried to kill them and they are all sold. 7 hatched, but I'm giving the last 2 a few more days... it's only day 29.

5 hatched, 4 to go!

I've been gone forever, but I have to update you guys... Gerdie is on day 27 or 28 of sitting and tonight I can hear the little goslings inside their shells! She's on 9 eggs!

Beautiful!!!

USUALLY the honk is reliable. The gander has the high-pitched trumpet and the goose has the low-pitched grunt. It has been true in every goose I've been up close with. Ganders also tend to hold their neck more vertical with their head much higher.

I don't know how much she is actually eating, but Gerdie is crazy over the dirt (that she can find) right now. She constantly has it on her face!

He'd love it!

It comes so naturally to my son. The first time he touched a horse he melted into a big puddle LOL. Funniest and sweetest thing I ever saw!

We live out in the boonies so 4-H isn't a realistic thing for us, but he loves critters! I don't think I'll hatch goslings because I'll end up wanting to keep them all!

Thank you! She LOVES the geese and wanted to hold the egg while it was still warm. :) Her 10 year old brother is getting turkeys this spring!

Look what I just watched happen! I know my girl! LOL

No eggs yet, but they started building an obvious nest about 2 days ago, so I don't expect it will be much longer!

Yup, Herdie is in fine form right now also! Silly boy thinks he can sneak up on me..... it's a good thing I love him! But you would think he would be tired of me pinning him down by now? LOL

Beautiful!!!

You'll probably be able to tell when Trina is getting ready to start laying. You'll see her building the nest, and it's a several hours long process. My gander also paces outside of the coop the entire time my goose is inside actively laying, like an expectant daddy at the hospital! Make sure...

Thanks! They have a swimming pool in there in the summer and I've got gardens all around it to provide shade. It seems to work out well and gives them plenty of room to roam, but I still let them out when I'm outside to keep an eye on them. :)

I just had to share this picture. Herdie is my guard goose, but I never expected him to chase off the moose! Of course, it only worked once... now the moose sleep right next to him (other side of the fence), and he does NOT like it one bit! Poor guy... that's part of life in Alaska! LOL

I agree with Miss Lydia... wait it out! As long as they aren't fighting, there's no need for them to be best friends immediately! Trina has spent her whole life being the only goose, and probably doesn't know what the heck he is! Mating season will change everything!

KuKu, that last pic of Trina in the mirror is cracking me up! And Pom Pom is beautiful... congratulations!
