My ganders have been very obnoxious this Spring.

They are so cute when they are little.

Charlie is going to get you. lol

Charge more than people are willing to pay to eat them. Cotton Patch are one of the smaller geese anyway, so not bred for the table as often as Toulouse. But like my Blue American Geese are $80 a gosling. If you’re stupid enough to eat them, you probably have Ocellated Turkey for Thanksgiving…

Mine usually only clear the fence if they are startled, it's extremely windy, or they are fighting. When I said regularly, I should clarify that it isn't all the time. My fences work just fine for keeping them in. I should have said that if they want out, they can get out.

My Buffs regularly clear a five foot fence. So do the Pomeranians. Mostly it's a jumping off point to learn. At some point it becomes more than a guide for beginners and becomes an in-depth look at all their requirements, which is why I referred them to some books.

Also for anyone not in the know, I re-created an article on geese for the knowledge base here on the forum. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/a-beginners-guide-to-raising-geese-and-are-they-right-for-you.78377/ Feel free to send newbies to it. If you feel I've left something crucial...

Quaker coop? Is that a style? Or a coop for Quaker parrots? I'm pretty sure I'd forcefully blow my own ear drums if I had to listen to geese screaming and Quakers brrrr, brrr, brrrr-ing at the same time. *shudders*

How long did that water stay clear? lol

That's super cute.

Mine are all nuts. This normally doesn’t start until February.

Are anyone else's ding-dongs laying? I thought it might be a fluke but I've got over a dozen eggs. I have to separate the breeds out this weekend. I guarantee they are all mized. Buff gander is covering a Buff hen and a Grey Saddleback Pomeranian. Pom gander is covering a Blue hen. And...

My dummies just started laying again. I guess I'm going to have Christmas goose this year.

What’s she sporting?

You could try the peacock thing. They take a rubber food bowl and mail it to a large board so the birds can’t tip it over. Apparently you can’t hang feeders because they are such strong fliers, if they hit the wire or whatever it can do a lot of damage.

Thankfully we haven't had more than flurries of snow. Mine are still content to splash around in their mud puddles.

It was chilly in the early spring and they came out with a blanket. When they spread their arms to wrap up Golly was instantly offended. He started at a run flapping and somehow achieved lift-off. He cleared the top rail and I just reached up and put my hand under his breast and redirected...

My Buff Gander launched himself over a 42" chain link fence to get somebody when his mate was on eggs.
