We got 3 female Sebbie buddies for our Prince Peter. At first he was NOT impressed with them and he chased them all over the pen trying to intimidate them. Within 10 minutes though, he was fine and happily following them all over.
Every morning, I go out to let them out of their night shelter. Normally Peter comes running to me for his morning snuggles and he follows me all over the pen with me running and he runs behind me, wings open, making baby noises.
This morning Peter leads his flock out of the shelter. He comes out first, looks around, then he honks and the girls come out one at a time as he greets each one. No morning snuggles for me, no following me. He barely looked at me. Then I realized it. I've lost my baby.
I wanted him to be a goose. I told my husband that he needed to come out of the house and be a goose not kept inside and ever given the opportunity to be what he really was. Now he is and I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my face. I got what I wanted, what Peter needed. I guess I didn't realize how much it was going to hurt. I'm going to miss those goose hugs and kisses. I'm going to miss that wonderful relationship that I had with this sweet boy named Prince Peter.
