chinese goose broody?

[shelleyd2008]

He's mixed with African or brown chinese with that dark beak, but pretty nonetheless

thanks! they really are fascinating to watch and so smart!

They are, I love geese

If I had to choose only 1 species it would be a toss up between those and my guineas...only because the guineas are good bug-getters and we have lots of bugs!

Any luck finding her?

 

[artsyrobin]

no sign of her, but if the gander is deliberately hiding her- i saw him last evening take off in a determined way off past the barn, so hopefully she is still here.

I had an African/Chinese pair do just that. It took me days to find the goose. Most of the time my ganders don't stick close by either, until the goslings hatch.

I hope you find her safe!

 

[shelleyd2008]

I would be out there stalking that gander to see where he goes! Hope she is okay

 

[artsyrobin]

no sign of her yet- should be getting close to hatching- our property is so rocky and hilly, i wouldn't be able to get through- the gander still disappears for a bit in the evening and comes back and the last day or too has been hissy- any ideas based on his behavior?
