Here are the promised photos. First, the box in which the 3 goslings and 8 Barred Rock chicks (presumably all male) arrived.

Meet Zoe, Dora and Ariel.
.

Then a couple shots as soon as they got settled.

.

Because I now have a 10' by 15' pool for the waterfowl, I took the "turtle sandbox" kiddie pool and scrubbed it clean, then put it on my deck. It sat in the sun - about half full - until the water was as warm as bathwater.

.
...

Although all three girls did some submarine swimming, Ariel (the smallest) was the most excited about swimming underwater.

Today, I added more water and a concrete block for resting, but haven't taken those photos yet. It's overcast, and I am not sure the water will warm up enough for a swim today. Fooey.

They are so precious, and I love the pics of them in the pool and swimming under water.. Have the boys seen them yet?

Aw they are so fun to watch in the water diving under and spashing everwhere.

Congrats on your new babies

Thanks, I give my son all the credit he did an awesome job. And Missy is finally through laying not one egg since first of the week.

Poor girl needs a Hawaiian vacation for all that effort!

I thought mine were done, too, and now I have ten eggs in the incubator. AD, I think their in love! How are yours doing?

Mine are doing awesome! They have settled in completely, and I'm getting an egg every 36 hours or so. Every time Gerdie lays an egg, my kids go out and tell her thank you! I love that they aren't intimidated by the geese... even if it is false security due to the fence LOL.

Well I had a surprise this morning Missy and Sam spent their first night in their new house and this morning she went back into the old one and laid egg #52

I saw her go in but since our drakes and 2 of his girls are now in their old house I thought she was probably in there laying on the duck egg but nope found hers and a duck egg. I give up on trying to figure her out. she hadn't laid in about a week when she laid this morning.
