She has ten eggs and the other girl has 14 and counting!

You'll have goslings galore, good thing you have an extra goose and gander to help out with all those youngins.

I just have to announce that we finally have goslings. Last year they laid and brooded with 0 results. This year all 3 girls laid and brooded. I have 3 girls and 2 males. Now we have 4 babies. What really surprised me is how all 5 geese met where the goslings were hatched. It was like a meeting at the maternity ward. They seemed so proud and actually looked like they were saying "Ladies they are so beautiful and they look just like their daddies" This is a first time for me. I feel like a gramma!

The white is a gander. My pair look exactly like them!

They look just like my geese. I have 1 white male 1 brown male and 3 brown girls.

I noticed 2 eggs kicked from Mama goose's nest today. I set them back in front of her, she turned her head. Candled and they were clears, well on the way to rotting....eww! I could smell them once I picked them up.Can't wait to see the babies, should be any day now

I have a bulkier type of African and it take about 35 days for her eggs to hatch right?

I finally got a gander to go with my goose. I was told Chinese almost a year old. Any one confirm that? He's molting and has angel wing. He came from a pen so taking a little bit getting used to swimming and roaming around the property. More interested in hanging with the ducks, but the goose is following them around some. I figure that will remedy in time.

Heres my pretty girl I rescued.

Will the offspring be a mix of the two some white some brown or a combination?
