Hello from Utah

[BrandMooToThis]

Hi, all. I've been lurking for some time but finally got it together and joined.
We started with chickens last spring, and then I fell in love with a pair of baby Chinese geese, so we brought them home as well. This year we bought another ten chicks to add to our flock, along with a few turkeys. Our goose started sitting on a clutch last month, but we didn't think any would hatch, her being a first-time mama and all. Well, two days ago they started hatching. The last one emerged sometime last night, and now we have nine sweet little goslings, and I am realizing I might be in over my head. I look forward to learning from all of you. Thank you for having me.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

LOL...yes, sometimes I feel that way too...in over my head..."what did I just get myself into!!"

But it's all good. You will do just fine.

Stop by our Geese section for any help or reassurance, depending on what you need right now.

However congrats on the new little ones!!

Hi, glad you have joined BYC. I am a newbie, my first flock is 5 weeks old. BYC is proving to be a great resource, the members are really generous with their time and advice. That is very cool about the hatchlings.
