Quote: Hi Livn,
you're a few days ahead of me - I'm hoping to see goslings this weekend. I'm not sure exactly when mine are due to hatch as I've been away a lot in the last few weeks (at dog trials). I have 3 geese sitting on at least 30 to 40 eggs between them. Most of them wont be fertile though as I only have one gander to 9 geese at the moment and he really has his favorites! I will brave life and limb once some have hatched to go in and candle some eggs.
I'm also having great fun (detect a hint of sarcasm) trying to keep the pen somewhat clean. We have had so much rain that all I have is mud (except where the geese have set up their nests).So my geese are more black than white at the moment!
Hopefully I'll have a few pics soon too.
Good grief, yours lay a lot more eggs than mine do! My older gnader has obliged his favourite, his No. 2, two new geese that I got, and a number of the yearlings!!!!!Hi Livn,

Yes, so sad that it had died and I´d been too busy at the time to see what was happening, but there you go...it didn´t suffer, didn´t know anything........LB, sorry to hear about the last one, but congrats on the six precious babies.
Already been out and about...within 10 minutes of taking her last egg away, she was out with the babies, but I´ve put a fence around them, and they´ll stay in there for 2 weeks. It´s a good size, they´ll be fine. She´s so protective of them, puts herself between me and them, neck stretched out, etc, just like my Pils the first year, but she´ll learn, and I´ll be picking them up soon...Livin sorry to hear :-[
When is the goose going for her stroll
Mum looks like she's smiling lol
No crows here. The only birds to be careful with are the carcará hawks, but they pose a greater danger to my muscovy ducklings when the ducks aren´t being attentive, but usually the ducks are good protectors, and can see them off, especially when the hawks see me running down the hill toward them!I see![]()
Do you have any birds of prey e.g Crows?!
