GOOSE BREEDING THREAD - for breeding, incubating, hatching and rearing.

Did I say Tolbunt? I meant Toulouse.

Well I wasn't going to say anything

Well, I was going to suggest developing a black and grey hybrid that looks like a Toulouse and call it a Tolbunt. But this I looked it up and there is already a Tolbunt Polish chicken. Oh well.

Good idea ,too bad someone bet ya to it.

Won't stop me. I just have to figure out how to do that hybrid breeding thing and find a nice black goose breed to work with. Oh, and come up with a name for the new breed.

A black goose? Awesome. You'll have to name it after yourself, or the county or town you live in.

That would mean it would be the Jon Goose or the Coleman Goose. Neither of which wets my whistle. I am sure I will have plenty of time to come up with something.

What does it mean when a goose vibrates her neck? Like a shiver.

 

[jtn42248]

usually the vibrating of neck feathers indicates that the goose is nervous or angry or that something is out of the ordinary in the gooses perception of how things should be. geese tend to be creatures of habit and anything that changes or any stranger or animal that comes around can make them nervous.

Here's Babe trying to make mince meat of my shirt. Him and Missy are my biggest chewers.

Aww man. I've seen that behaviour and have been worried about it but Babe seems just so placid about things. It's like my cat that gently chews on my forearm (no scrapes or anything) and rubs his nose/head on me. I love my mean geese but I wish I had a Babe. She's so lovely!

(I can't have a Babe, it would die abut 3 hours after dark - everything's a trade-off)

I did not mean it as you took it I meant maybe the elastic could be a bit tighter so the geese did not pull your pants down so easy. Just was making a funny. I too wear elastic waist pants too. Sorry you took it that way.

Oh no you're fine. I'm sorry. Sometimes a big girl can be a bit defensive and I'm having a bad week. No excuse. I'm sorry.
