That is great! I always hold a few babies back to see how they turn out too! They are so adorable!!

Aw, that is sooo cool and exciting! I am Sherry Smith on the fb groups too! I see you in both places. :) These are the curly girls from Shellie in FL? Is that right? They sure are gorgeous!

Ruru, I knew it was buff! :) So adorable!!

LOL! His goose is not setting or have babies, but he is particularly protective. In the past he has reached for my boots or stuck his neck out at me, and I don't know how I didn't see it coming, but he got me when I wasn't expecting it! :) I guess I didn't have enough coffee that morning to...

I got nipped yesterday too! On the thigh! It left a nice bruise!

Perfect~!

Thank you!!! How did you attach them? Sorry if you already said that.

That is a great idea!! Where do you find that at Home Depot? Is it expensive?

I also use rubbermaid bins, then as they are older, I use kiddie pools, or x-pens in my garage. :)

Good for you!

I would get after him with your cane! I found goosing them in the tail really gets them good! I think that is what they would do to each other.

I think it is pretty common to see sprains and strains during breeding season in geese and ducks. I was worried about mine once and took her to the vet for this. They gave her Metacam, which is a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory and had me keep her in a large kennel but where she could be...

My girls have only been laying for 2 1/2 weeks now and 4 of them are trying to set already! And one of them is a yearling! I use large and xl dog kennels for nest boxes. When they go broody/set, I take the tops off the kennels and herd them off their nests as often as I can. Essentially, I...

Very cute family! I don't think she will lay any more eggs if you let her keep the baby. If you took him away and brooded him, then she may start to lay again. I would also advise, if you leave the baby with them, to handle it every day. I let mine raise babies and the babies were terrified...

Is she trying to set on the nest?

Those are not that dirty, but if you want to, you can wash with warm water. If needed, I scrub with a dish scrubby.

In the first pic the two babies are on the right. In the second pics, the babies are the 2 in the back.

Emvickrey, I had a friend that had a pair like the above ones and the babies turned out to be smooth breasted, almost all white with a few gray dots on their backs, with curly back feathers. I think I have a pic somewhere, I will try to find it. I will warn you that if you let the parents...

And if you collected the last weeks eggs and she stops laying, then you can give them back to her!

Finny, I collect for 7 days, then put the eggs from that week in the bator, and do this each week. I have a hatcher, so I can do staggered hatches in my bator. Each week some go in the bator and each week some go from bator to hatcher. Good luck!
