It never fails to amuse me. I am currently being herded around by our patriarchal drake. I came home late the other day (my husband let them out before I got home -- it typically works the other way around) and I heard thundering feet running to "greet" me. Head drake apparently wanted to have a word with me, as he was flapping his mouth at me for quite a while.

(Sorry, MissPrissy, for the hijack.)

NP, DrakeMaiden. I am looking at some duck eggs. Shhhh! Don't tell my husband yet

Congrats on the baby. What do you plan on doing with them? Sorry if I missed it in this thread. Do you eat goose eggs? Just curious?

 

[DrakeMaiden]

Hee hee. I say go for it, MissPrissy, if you think you can stand another 28 days!!!!

Remember, NO ONE can resist a sweet little duckling/gosling/chick. Resistance is futile.

Extra males = Christmas Goose for the table

I know!

We did that with the Turkeys... we had one that was a few weeks younger than the rest... they were named Thanksgiving Dinner, Christmas Dinner, and Snack (cuz he was smaller). I got really attached to Snack, so it was really hard when the time came to harvest them. But we did, and they were good.

I sold around 20 Christmas Geese last year. Demand outstripped supply, that was for sure. Many people are trying their hand at old traditions and relearning what their grandparents already knew. A nice, juicy Christmas goose is something very special.

I have spent 4 years up here looking for a Christmas goose with no luck. This year I intend to have one I hope. We had wild goose this past fall. My husband went hunting with some fellas from church and brought one home. That is as close to Christmas as goose has gotten up here on my table. I am looking forward to it.

Congratulations MissPrissy! I am so happy for you and can't wait to see the others. I can't wait to see my babies born I have in incubator.
