And to think, when I was given the eggs it was an "ok, lets see what happens, I don't want them but might be fun to hatch them"...

Yeah, I'm in love

well, maybe that's a plus, they at least don't hiss at him

maybe there is hope... Yep, turkeys are fine and Geese are keeping their distance from the Momma hens with baby's. other chickens scatter, they like to bully them but that's their own fault, even the rooster wont go after the geese but move out of there way... Pretty funny because out main Roo is a very very large Blue Orpington, he could if he wanted be boss of the whole flock but he gives way to those noisy honking creatures

Ok, another question... Will they be able to fly?? Should we clip wings? Our neighbors wouldn't appreciate the geese in the gardens

It´d probably be a good idea to clip a wing this first time. After that, they´ll probably be more settled. The young ones get very excited with the flapping! Most of mine when they´re flying know where the boundary is, but just now and then one hasn´t got it sorted, and overshoots. then I have to get them back in again! They don´t choose to, it just happens..
Glad you´re enjoying them so much.

I´ve no idea. Mine grow fast, then hit 3 months and really slow right down. I´ve noticed they don´t mature until they´ve passed their second year, though.

Lovely pic. Which one of these is the greyer one? The one on the right?

I believe it is the one on the right

I believe it is the one on the right

Oh, I was looking at the shading of the down, as Embden goslings can often be sexed by the down colour, males being lighter, but if the greyer one is the one on the right of your grandson, then that just shows what serv said, that they´re all crosses most likely. No matter, they´re really gorgeous. Personally, I have a little doubt about one of the white ones, it just has a bit of a gander look to it to me. Let´s hope serv´s right on these ones.
