Goslings of 2015 Hatch-a-Long

[Miss Lydia]

The ganders i saved, found a good home tonight. They went to live with some toulouse & a little boy & his mom. They were very knowledgeable about geese.

So happy you found them a good home

Yeah, I've told my daughter not to run from them but she did anyway and now they know she is afraid. One bit her on the leg the other day and he is lucky he is still alive. My husband is not fond of animals that hurt our daughter. Just gotta make it through breeding season or hope someone buys them from me.

My dh is not fond of the gander, I keep telling him not to react but he'll go as far to hiss at him which makes it worse =/ he's just doing his job as protector... he's just trying to protect me and the goose from dh... lol

Time will tell but i may not have a gander after all. Even though i have seen mating from a distance. With a 4 month old its impossible to run out and look to be sure. Anyway with the first 3 eggs not being fertile & the other 3 being only on day 5 im not so sure. A much smaller goose egg appeared day before yesterday. Smaller than stormy's eggs and she is on her 2nd season. Ethel will be 4 this year and i do not think it is big enough to be hers. Today there should be another so i will see if it is any bigger, maybe its small because its her first of the season. Like i said time will tell. I might have messed myself up by not keeping one of those ganders i saved and assuming my young one was a gander. I did hear the victory honk though so maybe the egg is Ethels and the young one is a gander & just not fertile yet...

Never heard a female give the victory yell.

My gander will be a year old on May 29th and he is fertilizing eggs. I'm pretty sure it's him but having 2 ganders makes it hard to know for sure. I am seeing fertile and unfertile eggs.

Mango has six eggs in the nest! I'm so proud of her!! I saw she and Kiwi mating again today!

Just found out my feed store will have goslings coming in May 1st. So if my eggs are duds i will try to get some if i can get there in time. Their ducks sold out quick. Last year they had poms, embdens and both colors of chinese.
