Advice time again. My american buffs have successfully raised their 4 goslings into beautiful teenagers but now it's time for those young-uns to
be sold. How do I remove them to sell without destroying the parents trust? I raised mom and dad from day 2 along with 8 siblings and when those were sold it took months to get near this pair that I kept again. We spend a lot of time around them so theyre very friendly and underfoot but not used to being caught and held anymore. The two sabastapols that I incubated and raised are also in this gaggle and will not be sold at this time. I need to figure out their sex and then hopefully trade one to end up with an un-related pair so will be having this trust issue at least once more this fall.

We keep the juveniles in juvie flocks with 1 adult tending to them over the summer. Those who are staying go into the main flock, those selling stay in the juvie flock.
