Thank you. It was the last picture taken before she died.

I hope so, I know that I'm both looking forward to the new arrivals and kinda sad about it. I'm attached to my babies! But I can't get more and more males, I don't have enough land for that many birds to graze on. Let's just hope I manage to get pairs out of this or I really will be in trouble, lol.

Gonna try the vent sexing thing! He says he isn't great at it, but has some success. It's either swap with him, or buy more straight run goslings and take my chances ending up with more males. So I'll go with him. It's just too bad that all he has are white Chinese geese, no brown. I would have...

When I say long, I mean 4-5 inches. To where the cats leave imprints in it when they nap on it. It's not super long at all. Just too long to be covieniant in a planter, lol. The grass is usually 2 weeks old by the time it hits the chickens/geese pen, 3 weeks tops. so it's young, tender and...

As you can see in the above pic, we have chicks. We have 6 week old straight run silver Wyandottes, rhode reds, and barred rocks, 3 week old buff Orpington pullets, and 3 day old black Australorp pullets in the brooder. The barred rocks are very friendly, even flying up to perch on my shoulder...

I have been reading about ganders in general and Chinese in particular all over google. But I think I will ask questions here. This site has been extremely helpful and has given me more useful information in the past few days than a month googling chicken/geese questions did! I hope my sons...

Here my babies are this morning. I grow oat grass for my 4 indoor cats and my 6 dogs. 4 dogs are Siberian huskies and they seem to get hairballs like cats even though I groom them. So i grow buckets of grass, 2 long window boxes for the cats that i rotate and 2 round buckets for the dogs. When...

I figured it didn't work that way, but Chinese had all the qualities I wanted, and my parents had the brown Chinese when I was little. I wanted a goose that could bond to its owners, a goose that would make an excellent watch dog and be LOUD when calling out threats, large enough to give a dog...

The band is lose, but it will not fit when he is full grown. That band was the size recommended for geese and it is going to be too small. I want to band my original pairs as I'd like to hatch gosling from them, and I'd like to keep track of the separate pairs. I put the bands on the 2 largest...

The roman tufted are really cute. But I don't have the land to support different types of geese, and I wanted Chinese because they are reported to bond to their owners. This is a desirable trait with children, I don't want my kids hurt by an aggressive gander. I thought if I buy friendly geese...

He is 5 weeks old, but is nearly as big as the Chinese that are 6 weeks old.

Could he be a half breed? Chinese mixed with something else? He does talk diferently than the others. And yes, he does have a little tuft on his head. It's cute. Lol

Here is the oddball gosling

I sprinkled a little brewers yeast in all their waterers and in the gosling mush. Will it be OK for the chickens?

Here are my lovelies this morning.

The chickens checking out their new home built nest boxes. I have to remove the metal bars, didn't know that it was a bad idea till I installed it.

Another photo of chicken/goose love!

The quality of the photos is pretty poor. But I never have my camera when cute things happen!
