We drove down to Oregon and picked up a pair of Oregon Mini Geese from Holderread last night. We also got a mini out of his mini pilgrim breedings, though the goose I brought home isn't a breeder, I'll be using her for lawn decoration and sitting duck eggs. (edit because I posted misinformation - all three are Oregon Mini Geese - I misremembered or misunderstood what I heard when I picked her up)
Next to Rommy (roman gander) for size comparison: (edit - this is the non-breeding female)
Next to Rommy and Ranaya (chinese) (edit this is the non breeding female)
Here's the other goose in the pond with a fawn/white runner:
I was a dingbat and hadn't checked my cage out correctly and the gander tore himself up inside. (he also tore up one of the females, you can see what he did in the second picture above
) so I put him in the bathtub to clean all the blood off. His wings are a bit shredded, but he's still a handsome guy
from the other side:
Dave says he's been a little overfed and should lose a little weight.
Everyone is now out in the yard with the rest of the flock. So far they are doing well. Ranaya is extremely upset with the new females she's making sure they know she's top goose. Rommy keeps grooming the new gander, it's strange.
