Bought 2 Buffs today

[cracking up]

Our feed store orders from Privett too. I ordered a pair and they sent them with a mark on their forehead, red for the girl and dark blue for the boy. There were a lot of other geese in with them but mine cost about twice as much because they were sexed. It was worth it to me. I already had a female and really just wanted a male but decided I might as well get a pair. My original female has laid a lot of fertile eggs and I've tried to sex the babies but can't. The younger female has laid fertile eggs but they don't quite make it to hatch. I've heard that's common in the first year.

Called Privett, willing to pay more to have them sexed but they dont sex 2 weeks around easter due to high demand. So I'll be giving it a try myself. Hope the feed store doesnt mind?? Would suck if they got all wierd about it.

Lol right? That video is my best friend recently. Our feed store is getting Toulouse at the end of this month and I practiced on the magpie ducklings they had, for what ever reason I know I sexed my first two right, a boy and a girl, but I put them back and couldn't recreate the process lol. So we wound up with three ducklings and I think one is a male and the other two are females. I cant wait to try this on the goslings!

So you did it right and couldnt do it again?? Did it seem like the video made it pretty straight forward? Off the sexing subject, I have been thinking of making a A-Frame type of shelter for them on the side yard over next to the chicken coop and getting a small plastic kids pool for them for the AZ summers. Luckily, that side of the house was best for that type of stuff and it gets almost 100 percent shade at the hottest time of day non the less.
