Thank you. I wholeheartedly agree but there might be just a little prejudice here.
I just posted in another thread. I am concerned that Annie may be deaf. She does not respond when I call her name which she should know by now. Have you ever heard of a deaf goose?
I raised an African Geese from one day old. She now is 7 months old. I am concerned that she might be deaf as she does not respond when I call her. She certainly should know her name by now. She is a friendly sort, eats meal worms out of my hand and gets along with the chickens and the...
I have a 7 month old African Geese. I raised her in a spare bedroom from a one day old gosling. When she was a couple months old I put her in a playpen which I would keep outside the coop when the weather was good then I would put the playpen in the chicken coop for the night. The coop is...

Here they are 2 weeks old when I took the pictures yesterday.

All 8 of them. First day on the roost
A girl, left, and a boy, right, pigging out :)
Trying my wings
