Pics of my buff saddleback geese =)

[BellLisamo]

So I FINALLY caught their good sides... here they are. I have NO IDEA what to name them. I didn't get them when they were babies, so they are finally warming up to me after a month. They crack me up, they chase vehicles that leave or come in the yard. I love it. My gaurd dogs. Maybe I should name one Brutus. I am not sure if they are male or female, but i do have a leader and a follower. One takes the initiative to "attack" the vehicles, and the other waddles behind.

p.s. the pictures were taken from my cell phone

I was told when i bought them in June that they were "6 months" of age.... They ARE HUGE! I am new to geese so I have no idea if that's correct or not. If it is, i'm scared to see how big they will get by 1 year!!!!!!!

They're gorgeous..

Re: Them being six months old.. Well, them being 6 months old in June would mean they hatched in January, which means their eggs were laid in November or December.. Goose breeding season is spring/early summer. I see lies.

Good news, however. They're still pretty!

Probably a bit younger.. Maybe hatched in late February/early March. Geese grow fast! Expect an egg next year if you actually have a female.. Probably from the "follower" (is that the one in the back of the picture?).

Thanks!!! Oh really, you've never seen them?? Neither have I till my mom brought them home for me. I have NO IDEA how many different breeds of geese there are, but when i think of them, i picture the ones with the big knob on the top of their beak. I need to research and learn my geese.

IF i have a pair, i promise to sell eggs

I want some Sebestol geese

Yes "the follower" is the one in the back of the picture. I NEVER see it honk or anything. It just waddles along, following its friend.
So should i assume they are young because they havent tried to mate?

The one up front is super loud! Its so cool, but I bet my neighbors dont think so. Hey, my geese can honk, if everyone elses dogs can BARK ALL NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!
