Goslings of 2014 Hatch-a-long

[Starfire669]

That is so sweet to do this for your neighbor.

I may now have a broody goose, Missy came out this morning walked around a while with Sam had a bath ate grass and is now back inside, I have said this before so won't know for sure for a couple days but she laid # 26 yesterday so she isn't in there to lay an egg.

I hope she is broody and you have a good hatch.

I hope she is broody and you have a good hatch.

Thanks, after I posted this I went out to do chores and there was Missy walking around outside I thought well she has made a liar out of me again and I am not even going to say anything till the 28 days are up, but before I got through she was back on the nest so we'll see with this lil lady.

That sound good, MLyd. Does Missy only lay every otherday then?

Usually she does but she took a couple days off before she laid 26. a while back she took a couple days off to.

Oh, sounds very promising!

How many eggs does she have? Will you get extra ones, or just let her sit on her own eggs?

Moose sounds so sweet.  Although in some breeds the males can have what look like little trousers, and sometimes they even have the lobe, the females will often tend to have a lower belly and develop the lobe earlier. The lobe can be in the middle, off to the side, or be two lobes.  Males appear to stand taller on their legs, too.  With my first geese, mixed-breed, they didn´t get a lobe until after they´d nested, at 2 years old.  But my common (pilgrim-type) girls get a lobe early and the boys never do. 
ToulousexBrecon sounds very interesting, and sounds promising with the hen.      Except for the flirting bit, that won´t do!    

Well he has one big lobe off to the right that developed quite early. He is just a sweetheart. The OH snapped him after he'd spent ages in the water. Scruffy monkey! Can you believe he's nearly 9 weeks old?!

I officially can't find my suspected broody hen. She was here this morning clucking about but no sign after work! I even did a thorough search and still couldn't find her! I just know she's sitting on eggs somewhere and I need to swap them for goosey ones! I don't need more chickens!!

I think we'll just let he have her own she has 7 now. some of the older ones I opened were fertile.

Yes, I remember they were fertile. and 7 is a nice number. let´s hope.........

It's amazing where they can hide. That can't be Moose.

You´ll have to feed the chickens with their favourite treat to coax her out and then watch her like a hawk! And good pic, well caught OH!
Moose doesn´t exactly shout gander to me, but then I have that one that I can´t decide, so.........
