J-

This is freaky beaky now.

Looks like the goslings are having a blast pulling on your pants!!!

Any advice on how to sex year old sebs? I bought 4 of them this spring and was told they were 2 pairs. Have not seen any evidence of breeding behaviour yet.

Thanks for the advice and support. So far, all the other birds seem happy and healthy. Likely just a hatch defect with the one that died on me.

You might have gotten them after mating season was over or was abruptly ended because of the stress of a new place. Depending on location most geese begin mating in late winter early spring and are finished by May.

What a beautiful flock... and lovely grass too.

Excellent news, Jean... and beautiful pictures!

It's the 3rd week of July and you'd think goose hatching season is long over. But yesterday, my last broody goose hatched out 4 babies!

Here they are.... along with the pair of juvenile Africans I gave her a few months ago to raise.

I have one egg left in the incubator. The other three quit and it should hatch soon - I hope.
