Our Dewlap Goslings

[pete55]

Hi All

Well we're all finished incubating for the year and are now running on our young Dewlap Toulouse to assess their quality. We've a trio from our Holderread line that we're very pleased with. At 10 weeks old they're already very big with excellent head development like their father. They're just starting to show early dewlap and keel development but appear to be our best goslings for this breeding season

Dewlux - our 8 year old Holderread gander (left) and father of our best goslings this year.

Duval - our best 2011 gosling and very large at 10 weeks old.

Dewel - our young 10 week old female.

Head study of our Holderread goslings at 10 weeks.

Those adults are really massive - and beautiful! My toulouse from Holderread's are only a year old and still growing. If they reach anywhere near the size of yours I will be very happy!

We orderd buff africans from holdereads. We ordered one pair and 2 bargain assortment goslings and ended up with 2 pair! What do you do with 4 50ib geese??
