Pete -- LOVE that gander. Beautiful!

You guys have a great weekend. I hope to have a couple pastel call ducks hatched by the time I get home today.

And a quick pic-- Alex and his happy family. Man they look ratty this time of year, but still a good picture of them having fun. Wish I had a pool

And Paige with one of the Munchers....

Ahhh I'm soooo loving all these gorgeous baby goose pics!! I have 1 lone egg (again) still doing well. I need to get this egg to May 6. Come on baby! If not I am buying some goose eggs from a local African breeder and try those. This is really my geese's first year (is that what is called a 'yearling'?) - although mating not all my eggs seem to even be fertile. Day 10 on most of the eggs are usually lacking any veining and just glowing yellow. It was worth a shot though!

The mama and the papa (although they are not brooding themselves) - they are only hatchery Africans.



My goose, Sarah


Chuck, our gander.



Both pretty sweet considering it is breeding season. Really thought we'd have more problems than we have. When people find out we have Africans people gasp. "Oh! You have the meanest breed!" I'd never heard of such a thing until people started gasping about it this year. Is that 'truth'? Someone even informed me that their local feed store was selling African goslings and the tub was labeled "Very Aggressive". :|

zooweemama, I LOVE the way your backgrounds look so hazy/foggy. HOW do you do that??

And your birds are LOVELY!

Thanks Kimberly! I'm a photographer and use what I call my "big girl" camera. I use mostly my 50mm lens opened up and then I also process my images in a way that accentuates the creamy background. I love photographing my birds!

I dabble in photography too. Love to take pics. My baby pics were taken with my phone though so they sucked lol.

My two new goslings look to be healthy. One to go still he hasnt externally pipped yet but im hoping he does. Im so proud of my chinese pair, their first year and out of 9 eggs set, 8 developed. 1 cracked and died, 7 made it to lockdown. 5 have hatched(even though 2 died after) and still one to go. I think thats pretty good fertility for first year pairs.

My duck eggs are due next thursday, all 12 are still wiggling away. Cant wait to see those little ones. My first time incubating ducks
