Yay! The barn IS looking empty! X-D

Good way to fill it up.

RG's cool brown/white splash is a purebred dewlap African. It is what you get when crossing a brown or brown/white gander to a white goose.

And the buff geese are dewlap Toulouse.

RG, they are gorgeous! I love how the brown/white splash African turned out. I look forward to sending you eggs again this spring and hope you have as much success hatching as last year!

Yes looking forward to some more fun hatches from your geese!
I know I keep having people tell me its a cross !

I have a trio of Dewlap Africans, and a trio of buff Dewlaps I hatched from Utah last year, and I have a trio of smooth breasted sebbies (I love the smooth geese, so am raising only the colored smooth sebbies) and one Pretty Auction Goose that I just

My Soay Black Sheep and the one preening its back is my Auction Goose

I walked the yard today and bent over, peeking into the bushes and nooks and crannies. Found 11 nests, which makes me wonder how many I don't know about.

2 are from muscovy girls who, if I candled them right, will hatch within the week. One has 14 eggs in the barn, in a corner of the hay area, even after I tossed the 4 that weren't developing. The other is under the shelving in the shop.

My embden/chinese laid a nest under the apple tree, my embden put her nest in the burn pile. I almost tripped over a toulouse girl laying hers partially obscured under a bush in my tire garden, and I found a lone goose egg in the beginnings of a nest next to a derelict building. No idea whose nest that will be, so I'll have to keep an eye on it.

I also have a bronze breasted turkey who started a nest under the ferns where the yard meets the woods.

I'm guessing the ducks laying next to the embden nest and next to the toulouse nest are also muscovy, as well as the nest under the rose bush, next to the door to the shop.

I'm guessing I'll be overrun in about a month with babies everywhere!
