Eeyore, the camera is a Sony point and shoot I gor used on ebay. I always keep my elbows on my sides and exhale when shooting. I take a lot of pictures and delete down to the good ones. I can crop and play with brightness, etcetera , but this camera seems to need no editing. I zoom in so I don't have to get close. But I'm not the only one on here with awesome pictures, LOL

Yeah I guess an actual camera is going to be better than a phone camera.

And you're right, many people have some awesome pics on here!

Case in point, MissLydia's gobblers (sure, people call turkeys "gobblers" but honestly the term is more apt for goslings). So tall and tufty!

Now i have a question for all of you that have brooded and imprinted on goslings, my 2 need to start spending time with Sam and Miss but won't stay out in the fence unless I am with them, It's so hard for me to walk them out there and leave them they scream and just pitch a fit. Makes me feel like a bad mama. They are very brave when I am around and chase the ducks and bully the chickens, but i still worry some in the flock may hurt them, Tonight they will be sleeping in their very own nice big stall which is going to be hard for me to do but they haven't had heat lamp for over a week and think they will be okay inside their own bedroom and inside the duck house. They aren't bonded with M&S so don't feel I can put them in with them. How do i get them to enjoy being outside with out me? I love being with them but my house is really suffering from neglect. lol

Hahaha, neglected house...a common problem, I suspect!

They´ll just have to learn. They will, it´ll take them a while. Even my 8-month-olds make a fuss when they have to be parted form their family! It´s just geese.
I doubt Sam and Missy would do anything to hurt them, but you could always put the babies in a little crate in there with the bigguns for the littluns to get used to being with them? Then stick cotton wool in your ears! it´ll take a few days I reckon, but they´ll be fine, especially if they can see other birds they recognise.
