Well that´s just plain greedy!!  
I wouldn´t have been so strong.  Congrats.

And that´s what you wanted, after all.  Wouldn´t it be funny if Moose turns out to be a girl after all?

Hah! I was just thinking that yesterday! I guessed my first chicks wrong. Girls were boys and boys were girls. So with my track record it's very possible! Moaning Malcom myrtle happily follows moose around if u leave them to it.

Toulouse or not Toulouse that is the question.

 

[8GeeseALaying]

no, I have Dewlaps and Emdens.  3 Buff Dewlap Geese with a Buff Dewlap gander and a grey split to buff gander, and a trio of Embden love my babies.

Oh for some reason i thought you only had dewlaps now. Wow you have two types of big breeds.

What do goslings eat?
Can they eat chicken starter crumble?

Yes they can eat chick starter, make sure its non medicated. Wild game bird starter is good too. Also make sure to give them Niacin for the first 3 months and plenty of grazing time.

Here I can´t get waterflock feeds, so I give them chick crumb. But they only have this for breakfast and then at night. I also mix it sometimes with cracked corn. Every few days I add Brewer´s Yeast to their feed or water. During the day they´re in a run on grass, and they have lettuce and other green stuff as extra treats. They like Melons, too, and dandelion leaves,
