I set down a pan of water and they all got in, but eventually had to walk them home.

The whole family out and about this morning. There's something about a flock of geese that makes my heart swell to look at them.

When my most recent batch of goslings hatched my flock was once again going through the motions of chasing my Toulouse away, so I kept the gates between pastures closed with the main flock on one side and my three adult Toulouse with the Embden mom and her goslings on the other. After a week of this I opened the gates again, and the Toulouse had a whole new proprietary attitude and weren't about to let anyone chase them off the babies they'd bonded with. After a lot of discussion at the top of everyone's voices, it's apparent the flock has decided the Toulouse have a right to walk unmolested amongst them. Thank goodness - they've basically been constantly bullied since I added them last year, but I figured if anything could help flock dynamics it would be the raising of goslings.

Sigh. Looks like Nessie has something going on with her wings. She's lost feathers and looks raw pink on the ends of her wings over her back.

I'm sitting here watching my geese furiously dig the grass up by its roots before tossing it away to dig more grass up, and wondering why they can't do that with the varieties of plants growing in the pasture that they don't or can't eat. Foresight is not amongst their many talents.

I actually have a great picture of a Toulouse French revolution I drew a while ago. I'll/ have to find it again.

My geese are missing, but I do seem to have grown a nice flock of floofy pet potatoes.
