......because I cannot actually quite believe my eyes. Ok, so the goose weigh in - this is getting REALLY ridiculous. Hatched 17th May at 4oz each. Weighed 30th May - 1lb 4oz. Weighed today (that's 6 days later folks)........2lb 6oz. So a gain of 1lb 2oz each in 6 days - bloody hell, how big are these b*****s going to be??!!
Seeing as how they have a "Mum" albeit she's an Indian Game Bird chicken (and they're nearly as big as her!!) I have to say they are now really getting friendly. All stomach led obviously - they will run up the garden for a spinach leaf although they've yet to learn how to differentiate between fingers and green leaves
We are LOVING our goslings, Glorias foot (she was born with it curled over and walked on her ankle) is completely fixed and the only way to tell them apart is by staring at their toes!! (Like they stay still long enough!!) I'm marginally concerned about the amount they poo - they seem to have an infinite capacity to take a dump EVERYWHERE they go, but still really hoping we can manage to keep them in our back garden. It was hot here yesterday so we had our kids pool up - they had a great time in that!
Although only one of them dives, the other just likes to bob about up top.
Anyway, thanks again for all your advice on here guys, this is a STEEP learning curve
