    She tried to kill them and they are all sold. 7 hatched, but I'm giving the last 2 a few more days... it's only day 29.

    USUALLY the honk is reliable. The gander has the high-pitched trumpet and the goose has the low-pitched grunt. It has been true in every goose I've been up close with. Ganders also tend to hold their neck more vertical with their head much higher.

    Pre-Incubation Care of Goose Eggs

    I'm going to give 6 goose eggs to a friend to see how well they hatch. I want to save up all 6 eggs to give her at the same time, but I can't leave them in the nest or they will freeze. I usually manage to collect them withing 5-10 minutes of her laying them and bring them into the house. How...

    I don't know how much she is actually eating, but Gerdie is crazy over the dirt (that she can find) right now. She constantly has it on her face!

    It comes so naturally to my son. The first time he touched a horse he melted into a big puddle LOL. Funniest and sweetest thing I ever saw!

    We live out in the boonies so 4-H isn't a realistic thing for us, but he loves critters! I don't think I'll hatch goslings because I'll end up wanting to keep them all!

    No eggs yet, but they started building an obvious nest about 2 days ago, so I don't expect it will be much longer!

    Yup, Herdie is in fine form right now also! Silly boy thinks he can sneak up on me..... it's a good thing I love him! But you would think he would be tired of me pinning him down by now? LOL

    Turkey Talk for 2014

    I'm planning on raising a few turkeys this year..... do they do well with just one or two, or do they do better when raised as a larger flock?

    You'll probably be able to tell when Trina is getting ready to start laying. You'll see her building the nest, and it's a several hours long process. My gander also paces outside of the coop the entire time my goose is inside actively laying, like an expectant daddy at the hospital! Make sure...
