Gaggle of Geese Lovers

[AGeese]

Anyone else experience something like this?

Other people: "How on earth can you tell them apart?"
Me: . . . . "Because they look nothing alike? Is this a serious question?"

I get it though; if they're not yours, you're not really noticing and paying attention to all the differences. What really gets me, though, is so many of my friends; no matter how many times they've seen my geese, they always say, "You have such pretty ducks!"

There was the first serious scuffle of the year today. It was a three way ring-around-a-rosy with Tex, Hans, and Picard. Tex dropped out early to watch - I think he initially joined in just for solidarity - leaving Hans and Picard latched onto eachother's shoulders and pummeling eachother with their wings. Picard is the largest gander, but Hans believes every woman is his own and has more fight in him. I try never to break up their fights so long as it doesn't look overly rough (I definitely intervened a handful of times last year!), or so long as Tex has the upper hand (yes, I am shamelessly biased and don't even try to hide the fact that Tex is my favorite). Picard eventually turned tail and ran, but not without a few white feathers in his beak as a souvenir. I always think the victory honking is hilarious, and Hans gives it with gusto.

you should enter this into a contest.

I wonder how they verified that.

Me too

Ohh a photo contest. I thought you meant a "try to guess which goose is which" contest.

No one can tell mine apart either, meanwhile I can tell them apart by sight, sound, and smell………

Peep holes!

Peep holes!

I can tell who did which based on the height difference.

I have been loving my geese so much

My goose likes me but no one else. (This is day one of my owning him.)

I don't know if I would chose to have more though, I really like my chickens.
