OK, got it now what went into Bonkers hand.

Sorry Bonker but it is funny. Now that never happened to me. The only thing I had happen is my first gander I raised from day old thought I was his mate and always tried to breed my leg..... Plus would chase my husband away from me and bite the crap out of his pant leg or got his leg.

Nope, haven't got pooped on... yet. Never a dull moment with geese!

You don't hold enough goslings in your lap then! LOL My babies poop on me sometimes when we're bonding.

Poop is a whole 'nother ballgame. Spirit has pooped on me more times than I can count. It doesn't even phase me at this point, it has happened so often.

Soon he'll be a ground pooper!

I was watering some plants a couple of weeks ago - we have buckets to collect rainwater. My goose likes to be nosy, I mean helpful... I wasnt quick enough with the camera to capture her walking into a 5 gal bucket, and then freaking out because she couldnt stand up in it.

What goose walks into a bucket?! Anyway, here is what I did happen to record:

They are just full of surprises, aren't they?? I have one that insists on trying to steal bites of chicken food. Gets pecked now and then, and he acts very shocked.

I have eggs!

Sebastopol and Ancona duck. The tough part to figure is I have only one female, but today in a duck pen with 1 girl and 4 boys....2 eggs! Now then, who's the curly tailed girl??? She laid her first egg today, the "regular" girl has been laying for a month now. LOL
