Hey Serv! Great to see you!!
Glad to hear you still have geese and having a good year hatching! Always LOVE seeing your buff africans. Interesting mixing for buff color. I had a brown african (father)/buff toulouse (mother) gander mate with a brown/white cross african goose, and that pair hatched a buff african (granted, it had 1/4 toulouse in it). I was totally surprised!
I have my same group as usual, and only hatching a couple each year to keep my numbers the same, as my older geese pass away, one by one. I currently have two broodies sitting on a handful of dewlap eggs scheduled to hatch next week, and another 6 dewlap eggs in my bator on day 8-ish. Look forward to posting pics of my goslings when they hatch.
In the meantime, we are getting our first pair of pet pot-bellied pigs tomorrow. They are approx. 6 months old. Should be fun!
The foxes are most active in ireland in June and July when the kits are growing fast so the adults keep hunting. Foxes are a nuisance but i adore them at the same time. They are beautiful creatures. Ireland is rabies and maines free so they look very majestic here. I just make sure my dogs show them who's boss on my land.Actually, I had sold the pair as yearlings and the lady who bought them sent me pics the following year of the gosling that hatched (she hatched two, and the other was brown).
Glad your buff breeders are ok! Hard to keep foxes away where you live. We are lucky to have only had one fox problem over the years, because it was not pretty. We also seem to have lowered the raccoon numbers over the years, because that has been less of a problem lately too. However, many of my birds are getting old, so I still lose a few each year to natural causes.
Our new pigs are cute and friendly, and do not seem stressed by move. The rest of our animals are freaked out. None of them have ever seen a pig before. Hope it does not take long for everyone to adjust.
Look forward to baby pics!
