Sexing Chinese Geese - arghhh.

[sduenas]

I bought 2 goslings and the lady I bought from "thinks" they are female. She said sexing them is hard on them. I can see that. I can only now HOPE I have some girls that will grow up to be mates for these boys and all will be happy! I also got a little advice from her in calming down some of the attacking. She told me to pick them up and hold them, pet them and release them when they stop struggling. So far so good, no attack tonight when I put them up. Hoping it works from now on!!!
