That is too much. How did you get him to stay still long enough to put it on him? If I tried something like the with mine they would be all over me and not in a nice way.Well I have to tell ya'll this afternoon I was telling Sammy and the girls about the up coming 2014ending and the new2015 hatch along party and he got so excited he went and found his scarf, he's hoping the party will have ice skating in it since he has his down coat on. Doesn't he look dashing?

Hi, Andrea. You already know what I think on it... I said way back that another female would be good. You didn´t ought to breed Forest anyway, and she may not want to either, being a bit special. and I expect the gander´s confused as to why she´s not being receptive. I´d let Oliver go to a different home and get Forest one little grey 5-wk-old goose.
Sammy is basically a whimp, but trying to hold on to him and wrap that around his neck with 2 6 month olds screaming in you face was a real challenge, Missy ran to the front yard where the pool was so I had to fast run and close the gate to keep Sam from going and jumping in the pool. Actually not only is Sam a whimp but he's also a ham when it comes to pics. lol
Well, what a shame you´ve not had a good year with your goslings. But sounds like your gander´s doing ok... at least the eggs were fertile. Something else caused them to die... could it be to do with the weather there? Anything different this year? This past season my top gander bred with 9 geese too... the younger ganders didn´t get a look-in! We had nearly 20 of his offspring around... and that was after taking most of the eggs away from the younger geese, too! Another busy boy!Last year my last 2x goslings hatched on Christmas day! That wont happen this year. Had 2 hatch out a couple of days ago - one didn't make it. The other is doing fine (at the moment anyways). When I let them all out yesterday - they all left - went foraging - (even those hangers on that were hoping......) so I cleaned out the pen - nests/eggs and all. I haven't been able to do it because half of them have been sitting and it REALLY needed it! So unless someone decides to have another go, there wont be any late babies this year.
Hasn't been a good season for me. Had one hatch early and either a crow or a fox got it. Had lots of developing eggs - but none made it out of their shells. We managed to hatch 2 out n the incubator - mum has them and they're three quarters grown now - big spoilt hand raised babies, and then these late 2. About half the eggs I tossed yesterday had dead chicks in them. Not bad really considering I have one gander and nine geese - he is certainly getting around more than I thought he was!
With any luck I will be able to find another gander before the next breeding season.
