Thanks! My kids and I noticed a little size difference between the two. The little one seems to be a busy body. My kids came up with the names Ramona and Beezus after the Ramona books. We shall see if the names stick.

Cute names, looking forward to hearing how Boris responds to them. I know he's going to be in love.

Here's ours! Why on earth are the colors so different? Only one dark one, out of 8! They are all for sale, but I'm confused as to what color to tell folks to expect. The little light colored one is the only one with a light bill and feet. Do any American colors have light bills and feet as babies?





















Sorry you can't see all of them. some just hatched.

Update. My little goslings are growing very well. It has been sunny and somewhat decent outside yesterday and today. I put the goslings in a sunny and wind protected area with a shelter with heat lamp. They love it. At night they come in.

Boris sure does like the goslings. He likes to graze and preen in a pool across our yard with the ducks but when he wants to rest he cozies up to the area with the goslings. He has also taken a protective role by keeping the "evil chickens away from them. What makes it comical is that there are chicks in the area he is protecting.

I do have a question. I have newly hatched pekin ducklings. Would it be okay to slowly introduce them to the goslings and brood them together?

Last year I brooded goslings with ducklings but they were the exact same age. Do you think this is too much of a risk of the ducklings getting hurt? It would be much easier to brood chicks by themselves and waterfowl together? What do you guys think?

Thanks
