    hatching geese eggs

    Crossing everything for you Buffbeauty, it's time you had some luck . I had a mad spell a couple of days ago and ordered a load of turkey eggs off ebay, Red bourbon, Norfolk bronze and mistakenly now I've read about them Wild american Osceolas turkeys (what was I thinking!) so we'll see if I...

    Quote: Hi Bookerdog, great pics, no wonder you've been busy, I seem to be ferrying gosling all over at the mo and I've got nowhere near as many, thanks for sharing! I want to know how Pete can tell males from females just by looking at the pics??
