Oh no! That is not good news. Sorry about that. Fingers crossed that your ladies start laying for you soon and they are all fertile.
Iain, those must be some great dogs you have there...minus the deer getting pass them.
Where are the pictures....drooling over here!!!
I told you all I recently lost three of my precious geese...here is what we caught...........
The first night we set the trap, we caught our wild 'barn' cat...we relocated the cat.
The next night we set the trap again and something wallowed it around and set it off. We went to TSC that morning, and picked up a larger trap. This time we staked them in the ground so they couldn't be moved around.
Third night here is what we caught:
...you are probably wondering what on earth our dog is doing in the trap....
That night I had told one of the little ones to feed Rusty ( the dog), so they took his food out onto the front porch and called him...he always comes ...but this time he didn't. I instantly knew right where he was...sure enough I walked out into the backyard, looked into the goose pen where the traps were set and....
Fourth night - we finally caught the little murderer!!
The guys had fun using him as target practice. He cost me about $300.-$400 dollars. Good riddance!

That's what our plan is. However, Rusty is making it very difficult to trap anything as he always springs it! Goofball!Aww three! That is just awfulKeep setting the trap, just to be on the safe side you got everything. And catching the dog, too funny.
The first goose he got, he manged to grab it out of their house, and we think the goose got away and he chased it. We found the remains of the poor goose away out in the pasture. There is no way that coon could have carried a 15lb goose that far. The 2nd two he just grabbed their necks and killed them. I found them lying dead in their pen all bloody that morning. It was such a shock, not what you wanted to see first thing in the morning. I still cry when I think of my poor babies..I miss them so much!
