Questions About Geese... & a small discussion about fish

[HuffleClaw]

That isn't much better than what I saw them in a small plastic container something like pimento cheese would be in. That's a cute pic.

This is smaller than the one’s at Petco and PetSmart. Got him at Petsense..

Never heard of Petsense.

Reading this thread did nothing to stop my gosling fever.

Here's my two as babies! Wild to think how small they used to be.

@bluemerle got any pictures of what they look like now? What breed are they?

They're BIG babies now! They were mystery goslings from a feed store employee who ordered a big batch from a hatchery (I was originally going to order sexed Romans from Metzer, but .... the window to order was short, and it was expensive ....). I asked for Toulouse: but she had a hard time telling the Toulouse babies from the African babies, so ....

They're both Africans. Gander & goose, I believe! Though I won't know until next spring (?) when/if they start laying. They are ornery things who love to dig and chew and occasionally chew on each other, but they're sweet and comical and very, very good watch geese.

My baby in the 10 gallon finally. It’s Him (a Betta), a guppy, and 2 Siamese algea eaters. They get along so well!

Don’t mind the mess on my dresser.

 

[Miss Lydia]

So your Betta won’t kill the guppy?
