    Pilgrim geese - male or female???

    Tivona, Thank you for the information (sorry I have been busy the past few months and forgot to check in). Well some bad news unfortunately. One of our girls has been struggling a bit with one leg (fluid in the knee), we thought she may have just tripped (they get a bit silly when having...

    Pilgrim geese - male or female???

    Sure. I took a few short video's, but in hindsight, they are probably not good enough quality to help with identifying things, but I figure why not share them. From the beginning I have always talked to them, saying "Goose Goose Goose", I'm sure anyone seeing me do this would think I am a...

    Pilgrim geese - male or female???

    Hi all, Just a quick update and 2 questions. Firstly things are going well, and they are doing a great job at keeping the grass down :) , they really are nice birds, always greating us, and still wanting to follow us around. As one has remained white and the others are grey and white, we were...

    Pilgrim geese - male or female???

    Hi all, Here is a video taken today. As you can see, they are all now close to fully feathered. They are all now independent, but still come over for a bit of a pat. :D [VIDEO] Now they are fully feathered, I am assuming they are Pilgrims, and the white one is a gander, and the others...

    Pilgrim geese - male or female???

    Time flies! Comming up to 8 weeks old now, and as expected the largest gosling has remained the odd one out, so we are assuming we have 1 Gander (attitude would also suggest it, as he is the leader and happy to stand up for the others). Here is an image showing him (?), with the most mature of...

    Pilgrim geese - male or female???

    4 weeks ago I posted this picture of the goslings swimming. Today that container is a water dish, although there still trying to swim in it :D [VIDEO]

    Pilgrim geese - male or female???

    I totally agree, I already miss the really young goslings I once had, but it's good to see them grow. Here's Midnight, proud mum [VIDEO] If your being observant, you may notice there was originally 13 and now only 11, fear not, although Midnight wasn't happy, 2 ducklings have found a...

    Pilgrim geese - male or female???

    Here I was thinking I had gone overboard with the images :) We have been gradually introducing the goslings to the rest of our flock (if we have to, we can seperate them in the future, but our chickens and muscovy's live happily together). As Midnight (mum moscovy) has been unkeen to let the...

    Pilgrim geese - male or female???

    Well, talk about a handful, no more picking them up two at a time :) The biggest ones are starting to get the small feathers on the tail and wings. They are growing so quickly!

    Pilgrim geese - male or female???

    In Australia, so we are starting summer weather, but with afternoon storms, 36degrees celcius today, but fluctuating between 20's and high 30's, so when I say cold wind I guess it's relative, it was still a shorts and shirt day, but not when standing out in the wind. They are still indoors in...

    Pilgrim geese - male or female???

    Yes little one other than being the smallest is doing very well, very active and being a pig when it comes to eating. :lol: Thanks for pointing out the possible issue with the tin being hot, but ironically the tin was there as I was concerned about them getting too cold. The outdoor pen I made...

    Pilgrim geese - male or female???

    Thanks for all the replies. I think the BY has made a huge difference (so grateful for the advice on this). @jchny2000 2 mamas at the ready, that's great! Midnight (our current mother for the ducklings) is a great mum, but not an adopter. I have had one of our chickens raise some ducklings...
