Pipping & now hatched, goslings! :) With pics!

That's it. I HAVE to put my house on the market and find somewhere with land because I absolutely HAVE to have more geese!! I've never even given geese a second look til we were given our two eggs, then someone pointed me at the BYC forum and now you're all posting pictures of more and more cute fluffy goslings! I want!!!

Congratulations on your new goslings!

If we had more room, we would probably have more than one breed of geese and dewlaps would be on that list.

Congrats on the babies. Goslings are so much fun. We have both the brown and the white dewlap africans. Just got our first white baby out of the shell last night:

excuse the emden in there.... she's my foster mom to all the goslings I kick outside. Some pics of our adult whites:

Love the africans! What can I say? I'm partial to a goose with dewlaps.

I just hope they stay nice....the baby Buffs are SUPER friendly...come running to me...like to be petted, etc. The Africans are more reserved and standoffish, with the exception of one that I'm pretty sure is a male--he will put his head down (neck stretched) and walk towards me. I scoop him up and pet him.

And he gets ticked!

Don't tame them,.. you want them to respect your space (especially the male). This will save you a headache later on.

Africans are big and powerful.

Oh great!

They are still really standoffish...the Buffs run AT me when I go in, the Africans, away.

Okay--here are (lots) of updated pics!

Here they are with the Buffs:

Yesterday!

They do NOT like Butters! LOL

Not an African but a funny pic, nonetheless because she wouldn't leave me alone!

Oh and in case you were wondering--the Sebbies don't like poor Butters, either.

Poor Butters

Obviously Butters does not care what the geese think.

Adorable fat bodied gooses.

LOL I know! Butters is just too cool...and he's a HUGE cat, too!

Thanks! I think the geeses are pretty cute, too!

I can't believe how BIG they are getting!
