I have Brown Chinese, 2 pair of adults purchased as adults...I adore them...I love the honking and the chatter and they are not overly noisey...they fire up when they see something odd...they do not want to be held and it took the a while to realize I was the owner of the water hose and the cleaner of the pool...and the blue bucket is mine and it contains incredible edibles...at first they would run away from me but over time they get closer and closer...they are very curious about everything and seem fairly intelligent...Fred is the head of the group and he is hilarious...sometimes when I turn to leave their area, he will lower his head and make threatening gestures toward me but I just turn around and say, "Knock it off Freddie." He turns away immediately...he is all bluff and bravado...
I have two babies from Fred and Wilma, Betty has not started laying yet as she is younger...I have 3 more eggs under a chicken hen as I type...so the family may increase once again...the babies are mine...I take them for an afternoon walk about the yard and they follow and chatter away...they have imprinted on myself and always talk talk talk when they see me...
I love the long, elegant necks and the manner in which they strut their bananas...very pretty geese...had I wanted birds for the table, I would have chosen a heavier breed...my darlings are not destined for the table...
