Snow geese can be white (common) or blue (more rare) i have blue and white.

I did not know they came in 2 colors . Thank you. I may have asked you before but do you show any of your birds?

Daniel,
Thank you for sharing the photos. I live where it does not snow, but the photos bring back memories. Good memories of ducks on ice, waiting for their corn.

They only lay in the spring. Sometimes they will lay two clutches, but if you want eggs they are not going to provide many.

I have 50 mallards. A good quality feed and 17 hrs of "daylight " and mine are laying during winter months.

I like her too, and I'm a Mallard snob. She has very nicely penciled feathers. (The lighter lines around the feathers ) that is where 100 percent Mallards differentiate themselves. The length of bill, color of bill and the pencil ing can usually show the difference. Look at the Mallards you see in public ponds. They can hardly fly. A Mallard should be strong enough to be hard to hold. Lol You have a nice female and if she is tame good for you.
