One month was cold -35 C every day, and sometimes -37 C. Another time we had a strange weather (for the Moscow) -2 or -4 C, or sometimes +5 C (!).
28 february i opened the door of the room where lived my geese, and give to they a "freedom". They don`t return to this room, walk everywhere. I put there a water and fodder.

Next day i open the door of another room where are my ducks and chiken (and one turkey, i had some turkeys, but now i have only one - i eated all my turkeys. I think that they was "boys", but last turkey who i eated was "girl". Unfornatelly i understood it only when she was in my kitchen yet (it will be better if i leaved two girls and one bod alive, for the eggs). Now this turkey give me a egg sometimes, but she are alone (walk width the ducks, they are friendly), and the eggs are unfertilized. I eat this eggs.
The ducks walked one day, in the evening they returned to the room. But next day they begin to walk and don`t return to the room - sleep in the garden. The weather are warm +5 C, but i find the eggs in the garden. I put the yellow grass, the fowl leave there the eggs for me.
Ah, and my first egg in the incubator hatched. Here are:




I am really happy - this is my first incubation. Next week i hope to get more little geese (i put one-two egg in the week, and they will hatch one-two in the week, not all in one day).

The parents may not have had dewleps but their parents probely did in other words thats goose in the pics grandparents had dewleps and the parents of that goose just carried that gene and it looks like a african mix

 

[livininbrazil]

Gorgeous. If neither of the parents have dewlaps, but the youngsters do, could it be that the parents are related, both carrying the gene for it? Interesting bird.

Wow, Pasha, you´re kept busy there! England´s too cold for me!! I can´t imagine the temperatures you´ve all had in the States and in Russia!
And what a dear little goose you have there, hope all the others hatch well.

I was born here (in Moscow), and don`t know any another weather )) Only one time i was in Germany in one house of any german farmer, but i was there, hmmm, i don`t remember, 15 year ago (i was very young). Another times i never travel again, only was in some towns in the Rusia. This temperature are normal for me, sometimes when i go to my chiken-houses (where live my geeses, chickens, ducks...) i don`t wear warm clothes, wear only the shoes and go (i am too lazy for wear it every time when i need to feed my fowl).
But when we begin to have more as +25 C i feel me bad, i can`t work well under the sun, i don`t like when the weather are too warm ))) When i work under the sun i use a hat with feathers, my neighbours laugh because nobody here use a feathers for decorate a hats, but this is not imortant for me. If i always have a feathers, of course my hat will be decorated

In the winter i used for my fowl the stoves, for example my chikens had always +15 C in the room. Only the geese had a frost in geese`s room, but i changed a water (any people tell that the geese cat eat the snow, but i don`t do that - i bring the water every day), and feed my goose well.

I have only one problem: i wait when the snow melts, becaurse i want to take all dirty grass (old litter) from the rooms of my fowl and bring it to my little field (and to clean the floors, and bring new litter to this rooms, now i can only put it on top, on dirty litter). In the autumn i leaved some old dirty litter in the fields, but now i don`t remember, where i did that, and where not (everywhere are the snow and i can`t see). I use an old litter where slept my fowl in the fields before to plant corn, potatoes and another plants.

When the snow will melt, i will have much work ))) And then i will buy new fowl too (i have my incubator, but it are too small, i need more fowl. I am greedy

)
