I hatched out some goslings a while back and after selling most of them I was left with 3 mixed goslings. They have been in a run that my gander Ironman can see into and watch over them. Within a couple days he had gotten accustomed to staying by the fence and making sure no other critters got to close to the babies (there are also 4 pekin ducklings for my little sister, she is showing 2 of them in fair this year in the meat pen). He even went after my dad once...lol...he free ranges with another gander of mine so he is always loose...and everytime I try to do something with the goslings he freaks out and tries to attacks me...so I figured why not just let him take care of them...so I let 2 of the goslings out and he rounded them up and seemed to be waiting for the others...sooooo I let all 7 babies loose with him and he is doing great and watching over them like a great father! The other gander sometimes walks around with Ironman and the babies but usually all the babies run around and Ironman just follows them making sure they dont get into trouble lol I thought this was a kinda cool story about Ironman
He is my favorite goose and he is just an awesome dad!
I will post pictures of Ironman and his babies tomorrow but until then here is a pic of Ironman
