Thanks for joining us, it's nice to have you here!
 
Thanks again for the warm welcomes. It is so neat to see members from literally all over the globe! Still a few weeks before it's chick day, however my work geese have been filling the void. They're attempting a new nest site, so we'll see how it goes!
 
Well big excitement here today....the workplace goose laid egg #2 in the new nest she constructed (egg 1 on Tuesday or late Monday). On the home-front, the pair of Mallards who were in my pond last year arrived tonight

UPDATE!! I'm officially a chick momma!

Tomorrow (Saturday) was supposed to be pick-up for the day olds, but they hatched on Wednesday and got a phone call at work yesterday that they were ready to be picked up!

They all have little unique personalities already.

Not sure of the sex on the PRs...I had a look at the chicks at the pickup location and it was hard to tell if any hard darker legs than the others...I guess we'll find out in a few weeks what I have :)

Is there any reason why the RIRs seem to be having some mild pasty butt but the PRs aren't? They're eating and drinking the same amount, and I actually see the RIRs drinking more than the PRs.

Don't know on that question, sorry.

Yes...a Canadiens fan in Alberta :) Although I must admit I am coming down with Orange Crush fever!

I don't have domestic ducks...but had a pair of mallards in my pond last year and this year there have been between 5 and 7 visiting it (mostly males).

Our workplace Canada geese (they've nested outside our window for 3+ years) should hatch around May 8th (at least 6 eggs in the nest) so lots of birds and hatchlings in my life right now :)
