Quote:
The boys voices change at different points, its just once they have matured. Ganders are much more high pitched. Happy geese do talk in lower voices, but until they hit breeding season things may not change. And of course I my be totally wrong!

Little up date. Looks like new goose is a male voice starting to break (not sure if right term). On the hatching front thing have not been great but at this point we have 7 live births. All at various ages the first 2 that are about 4 weeks old have been moved to the barn in the "play pen" to start introducing them to the others.

The next 4 are 2 at 2 weeks and 1 at 1 week and 4 days.

Not sure what is next for
These little ones the goal is to start a breeding program and I don't want to mate them back or to each other as they are all siblings.

Might try going on the Ontario thread in the "where am i where are you' and ask around might be able to do some swapping so you can get new blood and someone else too. They sure are adorable.
