Wow! You have quite a mix going. Other than the free pest control service, why does everyone want guineas? I am not very familiar with them and don't know anyone who has had them. All I know is they are neat looking birds that eat a lot of bugs lol! Oh, and I've heard that they are great alarm systems. Will they let you handle them at all?

I'm still wanting the sebbies!

Does (or will) anyone have a couple of goslings that aren't sold or spoken for yet?

Come over and swim with the duckies! It is so relaxing! I promise!! It will make you laugh your booty off! Definitely good for high blood pressure! (If it is low, that's another story, we might have to get them to chase you around!)

Do you KNOW what duckies really DO in the water?

I love my ducks and geese but I'm not going to swim with them.

You're absolutely right though -- they are hilarious to watch. They are certainly my best therapy for stress.

I could possibly have a couple later this year. I've hatched 7 so far and will hopefully hatch a few more. I plan to keep a few but not all. I will DNA sex them to know for sure what I have and then I'll grow them out to see what they look like to choose what I'll keep. I've promised Gracie first option to buy then, whatever is left will be for sale.

I'm not drinking the water!!! LOL They aren't old enough to do the deed in there yet either! Just baby ducky potty, it washes off and its not like the kids don't pee in the pool, or drunk adults as well.

Here are my three babies on their duck island a few minutes ago! They are so fun to watch!! I swear if I could swim that well I would live in the water too!

How cute!! They grow extremely fast. They reach full size in a matter of weeks. I can tell that these won't be spoiled at all.

I know, I swear they have tripled in size in a week!! I'm gonna miss their fuzzy little butts when they get feathers!! My duckies spoiled? Bahhhhh! None of my poop machines are spoiled, I would never dream of doing that! (said while hiding my head and not making eye contact with the computer screen) LOL

These are pics of my sebbie goslings hatched this spring. I hope to hatch a few more over the next few weeks. Gracie, I'd appreciate any insight that you may have to offer as to color or markings. With the exception of the Buff Saddleback, all of these goslings are from your smooth breasted goose I got from you last year that was bred to a curly white gander. Your female has nice broad, long feathers. My male has lots of curl and his feathering is very fine -- in some places on his body he looks like he has fur instead of feathers. I'm hoping that the combination of the two make for some NICELY feathered birds.

White gosling #1




White gosling #2



Splash? Saddleback? Gray? Other? #3 This gosling had dark marks on the beak but did not have dark legs therefore I really don't think it's a gray. The new feathers on the back are light gray.



Splash? Saddleback? Gray? Other? #4 This gosling is very similar to gosling #3 above except that the color is not as intense. It appears to have more white dispersed throughout. I'm thinking splash? Also, it had dark marks on the beak but did not have dark legs therefore I really don't think it's a gray.



Buff Saddleback #5. This one I'm DEFINITELY keeping!



Newest goslings hatched Thursday.

I'm sure like any bird if you handle it early on it might make a difference. We're getting them for the other things you listed. I've also heard that Guinea gumbo is yummy!!
