"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

I'm still wanting the sebbies!

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

I'll be taking 4 of them to the Opelousas swap tomorrow if you want to meet me! Or you can pick them up on Monday at my house.

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 thinking 3 and 4 will both be light splashes. Not dark enough to be gray for sure.

We had our last baby of the season born last night. A little ram that will unfortunately be destined for the freezer. Too bad, because he sure is cute!

Momma and her new baby


He has a brown stripe running down his back


My other ewe, and her week old ewe lamb. The baby is growing fast, and is so independent! Loads of entertainment to watch.

Poor little guy! That's exactly what we used to do -- one or two butchered rams every year.

I love you new momma and baby. Very nice!

The geese are a nice backdrop!

They look very happy to be out and about grazing. Very cool!

I want both meat chickens and egg-layers. So dual purpose would probably be best. But I was wondering if y'all know of which ones do best in the Louisiana heat and humidity. And thanks for the welcome.

sorry I'm late in the welcoming!
I've had good luck with my Welsummers, Ameracaunas, & I think my Rhode Island Reds are going to do well (they are too young to lay yet).

Oh gosh all the pics of the babies are SO cute!!!!!
