Hey Julie, good to see you, glad you are keeping up with the thread, and thanks for the compliments! Hope all is well with you!

No problem, I think you are doing such a sweet thing for these geese. Everything is great here, still happy with my one spoiled goose girl. I'm planning on trying keeping a gander again in the spring, my kids will be a bit older and me more goose experienced.

Iain, here he is- the first gray. Behind Dude is Lady. I was going to give them a few days, but Julia let them out to be with the others and I've had the devils own time trying to get those two apart from the group. He's clearly used to running with the flock. We did get them seperated, and he's with Lady in the "honeymoon pen" tonight. Fresh water, lots of snacks, and a dream date by the kiddie pool.

I should be so lucky.-

What a pretty flock.

My goose is a hog, and will only let the drakes or one duck in with her. Other goose and ducks are out of luck if she's in there.

Jen, I wish it would be cooler in your area next week, as I'd love to send you your two pairs! Florida is on the edge, but probably not worth the risk, unless I see it drop a couple more degrees by Saturday. Unfortunately, it may be another week before we can send out the next round, unless someone up north wants to adopt an available gander or pair??

Marty, here are pics of Chicory and Barley taken this morning. I think Barley wound up being an african/dewlap cross, so she will stay paired up with Chicory and their eggs will be for eating.

They sure are pretty Iain, thanks for info.

Lydia, we have two grey productions also, and feed them the same as the Sebastopols. I posted a picture awhile back of the larger of the two we have.

Thanks Celtic, just want to make sure I am feeding her right.

Celtic, that is a fantastic picture! Bummer about weather temps in Florida. Guess I'll be waiting another week to ship the next set... sure will be nice to get the juvenile dewlaps off to their new homes so we can have that side yard back for our dewlaps.

They are both very handsome regardless! Still very socialbe I'm guess. Still feeding them out of your hands?

This is a great pic! LOL I think we should all try to snap a pic of our geese (or some of them) in a kiddie pool or two today. Lets see who has the most? I don't think more then 3 or 4 geese will get into mine though. The toulouse are too fat, and the sebbies don't like to share. They are very much the more dominant geese in my flock. They boss everyone around.

We can get 10-11 Sebbies in one large pool. They are fun to watch when the pools are dumped and cleaned. Just old off 4 more and thinking of listing 1 or 2 more. Also added two new Sebbies, to ship to us later this fall, and looking at 1 other. Will be like a revolving door at the PO when we ship everyone out and start getting other boxes in. 7 boxes coming to us, 5 boxes leaving

Thats the spirit Celitc!

Chickens haven't been split up yet for fall. Ducks were don't just about 30 days ago. Oct starts hatching again around here. We should set and hatch October through June

Very excited about the new Sebastopols coming in, nice unrelated bloodlines and good feather, heads and necks. Hoping the genetics will click in 2013
