He doesn't look ginormous so he must have one heck of an attitude to square off with 130 pounds of goat!!! Pretty bird though.

This drake was 20 pounds of solid muscle! I had to get ahold of his neck to control him, and pretty much pin him down. He was great once pinned though. After squaring off with the goat and sucessfully taking her down to the ground, he turned ever more agressive. I couldnt have that with a toddler running around.

If I remember corectly, he got a running start and slammed into her as fast and hard as he could, then once she was down, he jumped on and flogged her with his wings. Luckily goats have farely tough skin, so his claws didnt do any damage. I think the goat just had a bruised ego. lol

I was attacked by a gander when I was about 3-4 I think. We were at a park. Scared me so bad I think I peed my britches. Still leery of them to this day.

Hello!!!!! i am here too. Chicky just told me where everyone is. AHHHH, now I have my fix and I feel much better.

Wanted to report Illia and her mom came over today and picked up her hens. Was good to see her again.

And CR posted about his drunk sister calling and wanted to let him know hes not alone. I have a brother like that, when he calls drunk he keeps talking and repeats the same things over and over and won't let you say anything, just senseless stuff. So I just put the phone on mute and go do something else. Either that or hang up and turn the ringer off so when he calls back he's talking to an answering machine. Have to say though he is doing much better even though he had a meltdown last year when his son(my nephew) was killed in a motorcycle accident. He's had a really hard life and not much has been his fault. Feel so bad, he was my favorite brother growing up. He always rescued me from my other brother who used to infuriate me, but his life has put him through heck. He is such a sweet sensitive guy and just couldn't handle the crap life throws at you. Still, I hate it when he calls drunk. Breaks my heart.
