Pilgrim geese - male or female???

[Chaneys Ranch]

Here I was thinking I had gone overboard with the images

We have been gradually introducing the goslings to the rest of our flock (if we have to, we can seperate them in the future, but our chickens and muscovy's live happily together).

As Midnight (mum moscovy) has been unkeen to let the goslings anywhere near her babies (who could blame her, they are giant ducklings

), we decided to pull some of the ducklings out with mum in the pen for a few minutes.

The social outing didn't exactly work at first



As you can see, there was an unwritten rule between duckling and gosling, goslings own the North side of the hose and ducklings own the south side

So we let Midnight out and tried again. After a while they ended up comming together for a short time

Midnight was a bit guarded, but they all had a bit of interaction.

Cheers,

Cameron

Just loved the video, thanks for sharing! They are all beautiful.

So precious, and they never stop my Buff will chew on anything including their house. any trees you don't want chewed you best put fencing around.

All except the little one have their tail and wing feathers comming through. I'm sure the little one will not be far behind.

They are growing so fast! It almost makes me sad, I love the goslings so much. You have gorgeous goslings

DD was home this weekend and picked the 2 she will take home soon, and we banded them. Told her they do not leave till I get group pictures!

@Camotracey They are so adorable if they are pilgrim looks like you have 1 gander and the rest female. It sure will be interesting to see how this comes out..

How are mama Muscovy and her charges doing?

I totally agree, I already miss the really young goslings I once had, but it's good to see them grow.

Here's Midnight, proud mum

If your being observant, you may notice there was originally 13 and now only 11, fear not, although Midnight wasn't happy, 2 ducklings have found a new home with family and will be having a very spoiled life.

Cheers,
