Goslings of 2014 Hatch-a-long

[andreacroyle]

I am so glad to read that the vet found nothing else wrong when she was a baby but you are right to continue to keep up to date on any changes that may have occurred as she matured. Your success to date with introducing Mandie is inspiring and gives me hope that, in the spring, when I get a little male gosling for Pauline to raise and have as her companion, it may not be the overwhelming challenge that I have worked up in my mind. Mandie is Forest's baby now and you best not mess with her you little duckie.

I think that with most people's geese, it will be much easier than it has been for us. The advice I got from @Miss Lydia was to take it very slow and that is what i have done. they are now in the outside run (pred proofed covered green house on dirt ) together for a few hours everyday and seem to be doing really good! Today Mandie decided to follow Forest instead of my son around the yard and Forest got a little freaked out =) it was funny! She ran which made Mandie run after her! Forest didnt get hysterical and fall down the way she does when she runs from the ducks though. (@livininbrazil , @Miss Lydia ) ------> Forest even walked up to Ollie twice and stood by him!!

In 2 hours will be the end of this awesome hatchalong

This was an awesome hatch a long. I am so glad to have been a part of it!

It has been fun hasn't it look forward to following everyone again this year too.

That is such a wonderful report about Ollie Forest and Mandie they will be a close nit flock very soon.Will you let Ollie and Forest mate because you know that's going to be coming soon. having a pool full of water will help. My 4 are like peas in a pod one cannot be separated from the others ever lol

My brown Chinese hatch was a huge success!I was originally given 101 eggs but about half of them were not fertile as many of the breeding birds were first year birds....but I ended up hatching out 54 of the little guys.
